Gravelweed Letra - Jason Isbell

I wish that I could be angry

Punch a hole in the wall

Drink a fifth of cheap whiskey

And call and call and call

But that ain't me anymore, baby

Never was, to tell the truth

I just saw it in a movie and thought

That's what I was supposed to do

I was a gravelweed and I needed you to raise me

I'm sorry the day came when I felt like I was raised

And now that I live to see my melodies betray me

I'm sorry the love songs all mean different things today

I wish that I could be angry

I wish I didn't understand

I said your skin was like water

And let you flow right through my hands

Is there a love that's not crazy?

Is there a life that's not a lie?

All I know is that I had to go

You know why, why, why

I was a gravelweed and I needed you to raise me

And you couldn't reach me once I felt like I was raised

And now that I live to see my melodies betray me

I'm sorry the love songs all mean different things today

I was a gravelweed and I needed you to raise me

And you couldn't reach me once I felt like I was raised

And now that I live to see my melodies betray me

I'm sorry the love songs all mean different things today
