Hurt A Long Time Lyrics - Singles - Cantrell Jerry

His hands are clenched 

His knuckles white 

He got a gun 

And gave up the fight 

When i found out 

I couldn't even cry 

Well i am now 

And i'm tryin' to figure out why 

I'll save it for you 

You save me from me 

And the hole in my head i can see 

Tell her i love her 

Tell the kids that i loved them 

Oh, it's a bad dream 

I've got only time 

Yeah, it's a bad dream 

I've got only time 

You know it's a bad dream 

I've got only time 

I wish it was a bad dream 

I wish it was a bad dream 

'Cause it's gonna hurt a long time, yeah 

He lies awake 

With saddened eyes 

Sleeping babies 

Keeping him alive 

I'll save it for you 

You save me from me 

And the hole in my head i can see 

Tell her i love her 

Tell the kids that i loved them 

Oh, it's a bad dream 

I've got only time 

Yeah, it's a bad dream 

I've got only time 

You know it's just a bad dream 

I've got only time 

I wish it was a bad dream 

I've got only time 

I wish it was a bad dream 

'Cause it's gonna hurt a long time, yeah 

Or get on with dying
