Lyrics
My ramshackled mind searched out old Jerome
I said my house is falling in, it used to be a home
He said I told you once, I'll tell it to you twice
She's got to quit or quench her thirst for that poison paradise
She's got to choose never again or forever
She's got to let it break at the ends or say forever
But I feel so dark inside, I'm clinging to the smallest light
And I can't hang on, no I can't hang on
It was harvest at the Hazletown Farm and in the fields we'd meet
I could feel the pods and know the peas inside were sweet
But soon I saw her deceptions for the little lies they were
When I was making all my plans, dependent upon her
She's got to choose never again or forever
She's got to let it break at the ends or say forever
But I feel so dark inside, I'm clinging to the smallest light
And I can't hang on, no I can't hang on
Now I don't know what draws the bee into the flower
But she's the blackest rose
I've got a hard time seeing through the clouds
That hang on her wherever she goes
A poison paradise and served up with a twist
Buy hell in a bottle, it's right there on the ingredients list
But I can't talk anymore and I can't walk away
I swore my ultimatum and I fear that it's too late
She's got to choose never again or forever
She's got to let it break at the ends or say forever
But I feel so dark inside, I'm clinging to the smallest light
And I can't hang on, no I can't hang on
I can't hang on, no I can't hang on
