lyrics

I see him in leaning in
So naive and young
He's probably thinking to himself
"How'd I get so lucky with this one"
But he don't know you too well
You're a freight train heading for hell

Does he know he's dead on arrival
I'd hate for him to think
He's ever had a chance at survival
When everyone knows god damn well
You drive a man to drink

He'll break apart his soul
Tripping over your eyes
But the same glance that made him fall
Can tend to cut the heart like knives
He'll stand beaten and broke
Re-reading every word you wrote

Does he know he's dead on arrival
I'd hate for him to think
He's ever had a chance at survival
When everyone knows god damn well
You drive a man to drink

I don't think that you want to hurt anyone
But it always seems you do
It comes with being so easily loved
When you never follow through

Does he know he's dead on arrival
I'd hate for him to think
He's ever had a chance at survival
When everyone knows god damn well
It's been a living hell
We all seem to know pretty well
You drive a man to drink
