Lyrics

I saw a reflection of a shadow
Of a woman I once loved
There stood my faith, my own
Reflection, bitterness more often than love
So I bought a gun, took a pill, hung a rope
To reach my love
But I had no bullets, just and aspirin, bitterness
More often than love

I went down to cass
To meet up with my girl
I was 2 hours late
And 23 months too early
Believing my girl would leave me so high
So high I couldnt reach, well
Where my baby lay up in the sky
A ??? took upon me as the day went on
She was with another man, stood about 6 foot 3
240 pounds, a giant compared to me
It was my mouth and his might
It was gonna be a long long day going on

By this time it was 12:30
And I was passed out on the ground
Saw a hand to reach down and help me up
She was the prettiest little thing
And came to take me home
When she asked how old I was I told her 22
She told me she was 19 and the day was young
So she took me home to her parents house
I had no idea why
I was going to her parents house
But I was a man, making a woman
Make me a man, making a woman

I saw a reflection of a shadow
Of a woman I once loved
There stood my faith, my own
Reflection, bitterness more often than love
So I bought a gun, took a pill, hung a rope
To reach my love
But I had no bullets, just and aspirin, bitterness
More often than love

Its been about a year and I saw her the other day
**The next few lines overlap**
Hangin' out down cass and henry
Hanging like my heart was on a sleeve, on my sleeve
My one armed cutie
My diamond in the rough
The girl who broke my heart
My 19 year old dream
Made me wear my heart on my sleeve
The sleeve I wipe my tears with
She had my heart, my little diamond, my sapphire in the rough..it was gone, so gone
I'm never, never gonna meet another girl
Never ever, never ever
And she was gone
