lyrics

There was painful picture that'd been pickled and preserved that popped up from a pocket in my brain

Where stolen smoke in my eye wasn't the reason I was crying and I was a little too late for the train

You know the ones that push you to this place before will be nice enough to save you a spot

But you know it don't matter if you're hooked to the hate

You'll find your way there, pushed or not

But you won't charm me again

You hoped that I'd never change so you'd always win

You ain't gonna charm me again my friend

I've been learning this lesson for so long, tell me when is it gonna end

I couldn't get lost enough that's when I turned my back on the map

I didn't listen when they said where to go, they didn't listen when I said relax

You know I hate this violent shit but I'll take another hit if it means I don't have to go home

Sometimes a kiss from a clenched up fist is still better than being alone

You ain't gonna charm me again

I keep my eyes wide to see the bright side and I wonder if it's ever been

You ain't gonna charm me again my friend

I didn't think I was the pessimist I seem

But I can't speak for my pen

So it was a restless Calgary Saturday night, where I know nobody's gonna be happy until they fuck or fight, and while the city was drying in its new coat of red I gotta tell you guys what this tough boy said, he said "let's go where's your friends?" I said " that's a good question, you wanna get a drink or something?" that's when he hit me with what I was guessing was a practiced right hook, or maybe a fist filler and all these fighters and no lover is gonna make me a killer and I know that you might think you're better if you ain't never thrown a fist, like there ain't so many more ways to hurt people than this, and I can't be around people that are causing pain for fun, I didn't believe in a soul until I saw you had none, I didn't believe in a soul until I saw you had none, I didn't believe in a soul until I saw you had none, I didn't believe in a soul until I saw you didn' have one.

You ain't gonna charm me again

You hoped that I'd never change so, you'd always win

No you ain't gonna charm me again my friend

I've been learning this lesson for so long

Tell me when is it gonna end
