That's When It Hit Me

(album: The Year Of No Returning - 2012)

That's when it hit me and shattered my collar bone
I was in love with your world and the way you shoved it down my throat
I was bleeding just a little from the cut near my eyebrow
I wanted to tell ya that I loved you but I just couldn't figure out how

That's when it hit me
That's when it hit me right now

My mouth fell open at the sight of a violent beauty
I was drooling sweet liquid on the carpet when you cut right through me
My eyes were black when you threw me against the wooden door
I was head over heels, I thought I couldn't take any more

Oh but that's when it hit me
That's when it hit me once more

And I was bleeding in the bed sheets, when we said good night
And I was touching a black and yellow bruise on my thigh
I was running on empty, the big bad sun started to rise

Well, that's when it hit
That's when it hit me, aye aye

I think it's clear, oh darling
That it hurts to split open my
Deep deep sleep at 2:30 in the morning
But you broke into my heart
And you gave me no warning
You're a heart attack
And I'm a dead man walking

When you went to sleep
I stayed up staring at the ceiling
And I want the real thing
With no sugar coating
And no fine print
Just a real wild feeling
And I'm hitting the floor
I'm rocking and a reeling for you
For you

That's when it hit me
That's when it hit me straight and true
That's when it hit me
Oh, it hit me straight and true
