Down on Me

Head against the pillow
Bricks against my head
Buried under rubble
Since you walked out of the bedroom
Your words, they did some lashing
I still feel the sting
You used some mighty big words
I’m glad I don’t know what they mean
Words against the boulder
Brought mountains to the sea
Why’d you have to use your words
Crashing down on me?
Down on me
Not so long ago
I was a solitary man
I lived alone and traveled alone
Then I met my Waterloo
Boy, she was a beauty
Left and sent my whole world
Crashing down on me
Down on me
Down on me
Down on me
And it’s gonna take a long long time
For me to pick up the pieces you left of me
Yes, it’s gonna be a long long time
For me to pick up the pieces you left of me
I wish I could manipulate these odds
I wish that it was over — it hasn’t even started
I wish that I could lift your boulders off of me
Wish that I could stop your words
From crashing down on me
Down on me
Down on me
Down on me
Stop playing with my words
Stop messing with my mind
Stop tearing me to pieces
Stop teasing me
Stop!
