Bed of Bones

He came down on her like a ton of bricks In the night he got to go home drunk as a skunk He stole a little light from the life she led In the dark she sank into her house so cold and empty Everytime she tries to cry She stucks the tears under the pillow When the prayers hit the ceiling She says it out loud she wants to be dead All his hands desire is take her brave And drag it down to the grave Holding her in his arms, he hit, she fell But she fought to the bitter end Then he pulled the trigger And now she's lying on a bed of bones She never wanted to hear anyone but her man While her momma always said: "that boy is poison to you" She didn't wanna see all the warning signs When he used to brought her just a bouquet of dead roses Everytime she tries to cry She hides her face in her hands When the prayers hit the ceiling She says it out loud she wants to be dead All his hands desire is take her brave And drag it down to the grave Holding her in his arms, he hit, she fell But she fought to the bitter end Then he pulled the trigger And now she's lying on a bed of bones Oh, no, his hands tore her from the flower bed And just because she wanted to be loved Now she's on, she's on a bed of bones All his hands desire is take her brave And drag it down to the grave Holding her in his arms, he hit, she fell Now she's on a bed of bones
