lyrics

Pullin' up her stockings on that red light morning,
trying to comb the smoke out of her hair.
Ravaging for numbers like they were pennies on the floor,
weaving through the spine that seem to care.

Waiting for his hands to make her whole,
treading water with love made of whiskey and wine.
She sang empty lullabies of gold,
always waiting for someone to ask her to speak.

And girl, I know, you know, that you're better than that
and I hope one day that you realize, you don't need me.

Chorus: You don't need me

Cornering the devil on that Sunday morning,
trying to wash the doubt out of his hair.
Making up his stories cause
empty bottles don't go far when truth is left unsaid
in the high tide, after the moon rise.

And boy, I know, you know that you're better than that
and I hope one day that you realize, you don't need me.
