Mean
from Year in the Dark by Herculion
lyrics
Mean
He was a mean motherfucker and
Lights out when you called his name
He would destroy himself just to forget it all
And it was all wrong every time he came home
Never had a chance to…
Never had time
Hope he don’t come home
Boy, you’ve outdone yourself this time
I’ve been to hell and back
And I know what the dark is like
‘Cause i am the metal chain
And I’m sorry now for what I have to be
But I’m the only man that you’ll ever need
No, I never get to choose
Just how it’s gonna end
We don’t have a lot of time, baby but I know
I need it all
He was a mean motherfucker and
Smiled down when he was done with me
And I never heard him cry until I broke the chain
And he was alright, only ever heard it once
Put my worries in a bed
Pray to god I made him still
No he never got to choose just how it all would end
Never had a lot of time, baby don’t I know
I need it all
He was a mean motherfucker and
Lights out when you called his name
He would destroy himself just to forget it all
And it was all wrong every time he came home
Never had a chance to…
Never had time
Hope he don’t come home
Boy, you’ve outdone yourself this time
I’ve been to hell and back
And I know what the dark is like
‘Cause i am the metal chain
And I’m sorry now for what I have to be
But I’m the only man that you’ll ever need
No, I never get to choose
Just how it’s gonna end
We don’t have a lot of time, baby but I know
I need it all
He was a mean motherfucker and
Smiled down when he was done with me
And I never heard him cry until I broke the chain
And he was alright, only ever heard it once
Put my worries in a bed
Pray to god I made him still
No he never got to choose just how it all would end
Never had a lot of time, baby don’t I know
I need it all
