He opened up after some drinks the way she thought he would
He told her about his former life most of it bad as he struggled to find the good
This side of heaven I don't understand
This side of heaven makes me wonder who the hell I am
I don't give up all that easy but today I just don't seem to fit
Tell me please if I'm talking crazy I'd rather hear it from someone I just met
I know how you're feeling cause I've felt that way ever since I was just a girl
Grew up with a mama who never wanted me and a circus clown who moonlighted as my dad
The lights turned on now as the bar was closing down the crowd had already thinned out
Was just the two of them and the kid who was serving them drinks and listening while he did
Some days I get so frustrated I don't know where to stand
Some days I think its goddamn overrated to try and find the decency in man
