In It For Yourself

(album: Sobriety Sucks - 2016)

Girl, you play the game so well
Got me underneath your spell
And you can't hide behind your lies
Girl, you're in it for yourself

Seven dreams had allowed wrapped around the building
Completely tore me apart I'm back to try and build it
I believed every word you said when you whispered
That I was the only man the only man that made you feel different
That I was the only man that made you feel special
Even your family said I was the one that was respectful
How to deal whatever that's the absolute truth
I'd-a-stomp through hell in a gasoline soup
I had to deal whatever it took just to make it last
I'd-a-walk a thousand miles barefooted though broken glass
Whats the cost of love of love?
Girl, that's a riddle
Heart strings broke, you played me like a fiddle

Girl, you play the game so well
Got me underneath your spell
And you can't hide behind your lies
Girl, you're in it for yourself
Now I'm out of dreams you sell
You've been dragging me through hell
And I don't believe that were a team
Girl, you're in it for yourself

Can't get you out my bed
I'm living in my head
I'm still trapped in your web
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And I'm done with this greaving
I get back to sleeping
Might go out on weekends
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Girl, you play the game so well
Got me underneath your spell
And you can't hide behind your lies
Girl, you're in it for yourself
Now I'm out of dreams you sell
You've been dragging me through hell
And I don't believe that were a team
Girl, you're in it for yourself

I used to believe in love, I used to believe in us
I used to believe that you'd never believe in us
I guess I was wrong I was living the fantasy
I'd used to have a dream that we'd start up a family
I try and provide for you I guess it's demanding me
I'd did the same thing and got the same its insanity
Sometimes when I'm alone I still pick up the phone
I start to dial your number and think how you did me wrong
My homie is in my ear, he told me to let it go
But I thought this was forever I guess you just never know
You acted like my wife, in fact as my friend
Cause of you I'll never be faithful again, bitch

Girl, you play the game so well
Got me underneath your spell
And you can't hide behind your lies
Girl, you're in it for yourself
Now I'm out of dreams you sell
You've been dragging me through hell
And I don't believe that were a team
Girl, you're in it for yourself
