Heartbreak Junky

So you fell in love and it wasn't with me
Hey that's fine, it's about time I let go
But whatever curse you put here in me
Well can you lift it babe before I hit the road?
You were a charmer, I was a heartbreak junky
You were a diamond, I was the heap of fool's gold
You were the jet plane, I was the parachute failing
I was the cheap ad when you were the centerfold
Then my sun set hard on Carolina
Where she howled about the Pender county line
And her six-string fingers ran the length of some boy's body
In younger dreams I though that body might be mine
You were a cold crush, I was a heartbreak junky
Now you're a mother and I'm a flashback son
Yeah I'm a wasteland, you've got all your milk and honey
And back then I swore you were the only one
So disenchant me baby, I've been dying to know how to give up, get out, stay gone, make me not wanna go back to the girl that I had before, she was so sweet baby so sweet.
Maybe I can reconcile what I ripped in two, that haphazard, half-hearted love I was making with you.
Yeah, I made it with you.
But now the bars are closed and the city sleeps tight
As I ramble home my wretched merry way
Where down was up and feeling bad felt so right.
I thought that vertigo was here to stay
We're talking hellfire, but at the time, it seemed funny
When all the demons left the woodwork to play
With an angel and a heartbreak junky
Stuck in their rock bottom masquerade
So disconnect me baby, I've been dying to know how to give up, get out, stay gone, make me not wanna go back to the girl that I had before, she was so sweet baby, so sweet.
Maybe I can reconcile what I ripped in two, that haphazard, half-hearted love I was making with you.
Yeah, I made it with you.
So when Eden burns behind you in the rearview
And you're off to find a stranger paradise
Where you can sing your own way out
Well, you know that I'll be around
with a sweet-talk woman fading slowly
on a lovesick mind
