Lyrics for Gravelweed

I wish that I could be angry Punch a hole in the wall Drink a fifth of cheap whiskey And call and call and call But that ain't me anymore, baby Never was, to tell the truth I just saw it in a movie and thought That's what I was supposed to do I was a gravelweed, and I neededed you to raise me I'm sorry the day came when I felt like I was raised And now that I live to see my melodies betray me I'm sorry the love songs all mean different things today I wish that I could be angry I wish I didn't understand I said your skin was like water And let you flow right through my hands Is there a love that's not crazy? Is there a life that's not a lie? All I know is that I had to go You know why, why, why I was a gravelweed, and I needed you to raise me You couldn't reach me once I felt like I was raised And now that I live to see my melodies betray me I'm sorry the love songs all mean different things today I was a gravelweed, and I needed you to raise me You couldn't reach me once I felt like I was raised And now that I live to see my melodies betray me I'm sorry the love songs all mean different things today
