Long Black Veil - Johnny Cash

Heaven's gone, the battle's won I had to say goodbye Lived and learned from every fable Written by your mind And I wonder how to move on From all I had inside Place my gun upon the table In blood I draw the line I've given all my pride Living a life of misery Always there, just underneath Haunting me, quietly alone It's killing me, killing me Dead and gone, what's done is done You were all I had become I'm letting go of what I once believed So goodbye agony I watch the stars and setting suns As the years are passing by I never knew that hope was fatal Until I looked it in the eye And now I'm not sure I am able To reach the other side Casting out the light Living a life of misery Always there, just underneath Haunting me, quietly alone It's killing me, killing me Dead and gone, what's done is done You were all I had become I'm letting go of what I once believed So goodbye agony Goodbye agony Not alone in forgiving The faithful and the blind Innocence is forsaken I leave 'em all behind And then I see that even angels never die Living a life of misery Always there, just underneath Haunting me, quietly alone It's killing me, killing me Dead and gone, what's done is done You were all I had become I'm letting go of what I once believed So goodbye agony Goodbye agony

I never knew how to live alone Holding my fear in the unknown And if we only speak in tongue, how can we be heard? Are there songs you keep to guard your heart? Let this be the one you use to start your own And every word that came from you has carried me So I'm trying my hardest to be what you made Like a court jester, my smile won't fade Giving it all, rising to fall to my grave Answer the call, living in thrall You're the one born to save I grew this heart in a motor car I wear a mask to be the star All of the heat and anxiety that still lines the road It is all I ever thought I'd live for Now I know I'm more than all of my scars So I'm trying my hardest to be what you made Like a court jester, my smile won't fade Giving it all, rising to fall to my grave Answer the call, living in thrall You're the one born to save So I'm trying my hardest to be what you made Like a court jester, my smile won't fade Giving it all, rising to fall to my grave Answer the call, living in thrall You're the one born- So I'm trying my hardest to be what you made Like a court jester, my smile won't fade Giving it all, rising to fall to my grave Answer the call, living in thrall You're the one born to save

And you guys are kings of this school You get away with whatever you want What are you bitching about? Well, all I'm saying is that if I ever start referring to these as the best years of my life Remind me to kill myself When the wildfire is over and everything is gone Incinerate my tires while we race into the wide open See, I don't really wanna think about it or how it all went wrong Houston, there's a problem, someone sucked out all the sun But I'm, I'm better tonight Don't waste that hand Non-operational for anything else You're jealous of my resilience When the royal crown is gone and everything is ours (everything is ours) Regenerate that kind of power, reserved for the Marvel gods See, I've been coming to the realization that all you do is shine Black lights to my problems, swallow the dirt, you rotten swine But I'm, I'm better tonight Don't waste that hand Non-operational for anything else You're jealous of my resilience And it's odd that I've been runnin' into spider webs at night (and it's odd) And it's odd that I keep runnin' into spider webs Runnin' into spider webs at night (and it's odd) I'm better tonight Don't waste that hand Non-operational for anything else Jealous of my resilience My resilience My resilience

Blink and I'll explode, I'm just the type Perverted loneliness defined I'm not obsessed, far worse, I'm fine And pain is unavoidable at times But if it gets shit off your mind I understand, that's kind of why I'm here, right? Yeah Please stop, don't worry I can be your freak I'll scar you with my flawless execution every time Shame, I'm just a tiny parasite But I will eat you up alive All of your tenderness, the flies swarm 'round Do you really crave a life? (That's not beholden to me) I didn't mean to burden you with love in my condition Please stop, don't worry I can be your freak I'll scar you with my flawless execution every time Horrified, swallowing your perfume Why won't you save me? You and I are blood and wine Please stop, don't worry I can be your freak I'll scar you with my flawless execution every time Every time Every time Dead right

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe, you belong with me? You belong with me
