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
