Lyrics for Hatchet Man
The angel made a duet And he made me watch He thought no one would notice Her go on, on I've been watching Alice Doesn't live here anymore He said he meant no malice As his shadow crossed the floor I wasn't over my head I wasn't over my head Couldn't make them love me only Would've been better just to live with loneliness And oh, all of this Oh, all of this And as he let me go, he said He knew I'd not forget him Could've been you instead I'm glad I didn't let him The outline of my hatchet man Is backlit in the door I wish I could have saved her As the engines roar I wasn't over my head I wasn't over my head You couldn't make them love me only Would've been better just to live with loneliness And oh, all of this I wasn't over my head I wasn't over my head Couldn't make them love me only Would've been better just to live with loneliness And oh, all of this Oh, all of this Oh, all of this
