True Emotion - Doyle Bramhall II

It’s only been three weeks

But we weren’t strangers when we met

There was someone I was looking to meet

There was someone you were trying to forget

I was spoon-fed disgust with every word you said

Just when I think it’s going my way

She could take the glitter out of gold

Each step I take I wonder and wait

How she could ever be so cold

Make a foot of my true emotion, cover the eyes of emotion

I wake up to the smell of burning flesh

With a cigarette out my chest

The first thing that came to mind

Was the last time that we ever had sex

Is it really this bad or is it my imagination

Just when I think it’s going my way

She could take the glitter out of gold

Each step I take I wonder and wait

How she could ever be so cold

Make a fool out of my true emotion, cover the eyes of emotion

I’ve read you quote chapter and verse

I’Ve heard your sermon now get in the hearse

Tired of wasting all of my time

I’m sick of all your lies

Just when I think it’s going my way

She could take the glitter out of gold

Each step I take I wonder and wait

How she could ever be so cold

Make a fool out of my true emotion, cover the eyes of true emotion

Make a fool out of my true emotion, cover the eyes of emotion
