Gaslight Anthem (The Song Not The Band)

A common ground

That's where I plant my shoes

Here I thought I was next to you

A stubborn sound

My mouth opens and closes

Spit on my tongue while my pride decomposes

And you just stare

And you just stare

And you just stare

And you just

I squint my eyes

It's hard to see

Beneath my skin

It's haunting me

I feel my past

Just welling up

The change I've made

Just won't add up

It's no surprise

I'm demonized

A different town

That's where I had to move

Had to go to get away from you

But I was bound

My words turned into poison

Flipped on your tongue to convey disappointment

But I was there

I won't just let it go

And life's not fair

That lesson's hard, I know

I squint my eyes

It's hard to see

What I thought I said

It's haunting me

I feel my past

Just welling up

You just can't buy

Your way through love

It's no surprise

I'm demonized
