lyrics

Money,
Don't grow on trees
Nothing
Is like it used to be
You tried to tell me
But I paid no heed
Now I wallow
Misery

If you tried to fight me
I'd see that you'd win
for you
I'd go to hell and back again

Well roses
In the garden
They grow like weeds
But only sometimes
All my defences are down
Am I Vulnerable
Take what you need I won't be there to know

Well I'm that meal when you're hungry
That drink when you're dry
My friend
I've been to hell and back again

Just to die easy
It's seems like a hard thing to do
Though you openly define me
Oh remember when I moved in you

Oh the truth left unspoken
Is as good as a lie,
Why don't you read between the lines
I'm just that meal when you're hungry
That drink when you're dry

My friend I've been to
Hell and back again
My friend I've been to
Hell and back again
My friend I've been to
Hell and back again
