House Of Pain

Blue skies turned to darkness
You turned and walked away
Sun shine don't shine anymore
Up above this house of pain
You lied and said you love me
So I turned and walked away
Can't hide from the rain falling down
Up above this house of pain

Now both of us came up from nothing, talking backwoods and them trailers
Broken homes is what we come from, we was destined to be some failures
I've been broke and poor I've been ripped apart, down on my knees and I prayed to God
Let me find a girl that'll ride or die through the thick and thin and she can play her part
With a heart of gold that'll match mine, hold me close until we flatline
In the afterlife we can meet again and laugh about these past times
But something came and took a hold of you' cause these days I don't notice you
And I never met no female in my damn life that's as cold as you
But deep down I know it's you, I've been beat down by this world too
Broken inside and left to die but still I ride with no excuse
Only speak the truth when I'm talking, been through hell and kept on walking
Told me that we gonna build together but all along you built my coffin
I used to have nothing, nowadays I have it all
But I would give it all away if I could catch you before you fall
And the side effects of that nonsense, it leaves you numb with no conscience
You become what you wrong from, so please proceed with caution

Blue skies turned to darkness
You turned and walked away
Sun shine don't shine anymore
Up above this house of pain
You lied and said you love me
So I turned and walked away
Can't hide from the rain falling down
Up above this house of pain

Now looking back, how we get here? We made it up this big hill
Must be too good to be true, and fairy tales just ain't real
But still, you a princess in my book of broken promises
Could have seen this self-destruction coming if I had a little bit of common sense
But the problem is you hide it well and I was long-gone from that side of hell
I couldn't tell you anything, like who was I, we was both the same
From a bitter past going down in flames, everything we love went down the drain
I'm not to blame, you are not the victim, you was my girl with no competition
My whole world, I was looking different, like a meteor hitting it, quit spinning
I spit venom every time we speak 'cause I can't believe that you so damn weak
So hard to reach in this misery, never thought that you would be a enemy
I gave you life and you gave me love, gave me hope but you gave it up
Now everything that we built together has burned away and turned to dust
So the evil wins yet once again, the devil grins and walks away
His job is done, man down, in this time I'm here to stay
You cut me down to the bone, now little Nova has a broken home, damn

Blue skies turned to darkness
You turned and walked away
Sun shine don't shine anymore
Up above this house of pain
You lied and said you love me
So I turned and walked away
Can't hide from the rain falling down
Up above this house of pain

Now my tears fall from sadness, sick of dark clouds in my valley
But the forecast is rainfall and good Lord I've had it
Lived a lifetime of madness, all these women do you so badly
They love to play you dirty but baby I'm a savage
Now my tears fall from sadness, sick of dark clouds in my valley
But the forecast is rainfall and good Lord I've had it
Lived a lifetime of madness, all these women do you so badly
They love to play you dirty but baby I'm a savage

Blue skies turned to darkness
You turned and walked away
Sun shine don't shine anymore
Up above this house of pain
You lied and said you love me
So I turned and walked away
Can't hide from the rain falling down
Up above this house of pain
