I was in the shower so I could not tell my nose was bleeding

Dripped down my body to the floor right below my feet and

I looked in the mirror at my face, I thought I had a disease

Yeah

And there's a woman with her fingers in my icebox

She peeked around the corner, asked me if I'm okay

She put the ice upon my tongue and then it melted away

Alright, oak floor, soft pine bedroom door, yeah

Speak easy, make her mine if she's bored, yeah

And there's a dry pine ceilin' that is outta my reach

I woke up and my hands were gone, yeah

I looked down and my legs were long gone

I felt for her with my shoulder, but there's nobody there

I thought she left a note, just the tag on the pillow there

And then I noticed there's a rag next to my ear

The clock was ringin', but it wasn't nothin' that I could hear

Alright

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Sometimes someone controls everything about you

And when they tell you that they just can't live without you

They ain't lyin', they'll take pieces of you

And they'll stand above you and walk away, yeah

That's right, and take a part of you with them
