lyrics

well i met you when you were seventeen
you were the meanest girl i'd ever seen
you took a breath and you walked right up to me
your perfect skin, covered in ink

well you told me you'd steal me away
from that other woman causing me pain
from that moment until this day
my heart was only yours to break

it hurts to hear you say that it gets better every day
i'm begging you to stay, but it's too late

when i turned 33
i saw god himself looking straight at me
he was trying to get me to see
that if i didn't straighten up then you would leave

it hurts to hear you say that it gets better every day
i'm begging you to stay, but it's too late

when i turn 36
all my problems by then i will have fixed
until then i'll just take a few sips
and try a little harder to give a shit

it hurts to hear you say that it gets better every day
i'm begging you to stay, but it's too late
