Dirty Truth, The Lyrics - Singles - Taylor, Joanne Shaw

This can't be good, my baby's got that look again 

Like he's about to come undone, grab his gun and count to ten 

I'm in the line of fire, he's shooting sparks like a live wire 

My love's grown old so he wants to throw my soul to the coals & fire 

I've been careful where I'm treading, 

Dreading the road that's ahead 

He's depending on it ending with me winding up dead 

He's up for raising hell 

In his mind, I've been tried and ruled untrue 

But he'll be the first to hit the ground 

That's the low down 

The dirty truth 

I've tried to let it slide but he's defined by his foolish pride 

He's in deep, he can't eat 

I've tried to creep out while he's asleep 

If he can't have me then no one will 

But what he doesn't know is that I'd rather shoot 

Than be killed
