Can't Stop the Killer
Emery
I'm Only a Man
You'll raise the daughter
and she'll raise a son
You'll live like two people
that wish they were one
She may not be perfect,
but oh my friend neither are you
You feel like you're waiting
for somebody to
remind you of all the things
that you're supposed to do
Careful what you reach for,
one more step and you're falling through
Your family's a joke
and your job is your life
The time spent without them
is time spent most every night
Get your house in order
'cause it's gonna be a bumpy ride
you can't stop...
you can't stop the killer
you can't stop...
you can't stop the killer
I work my hands
right down to the bone-
still you don't give me what I want
You are so ungrateful,
we're more like a house than a home, oh
Please dear understand,
I'm sorry again for all that I said
How could you leave?
I swear that I'll be a better man
Well, go ahead and run, run,
run from the man with the gun in his hand
Darling I would shoot you before
I would ever let you leave
Oh, dear God
In a certain place I've kept my outs,
one for us both, two for my doubts,
I'm shaking
I'm hollow
because I know how to get this done
so I will be the only to follow,
to follow through
In a certain place I've kept my outs,
one for us both, two for my doubts
I'm shaking
I'm hollow
because I know how to get this done
so I will be the only one to follow,
to follow through with this
You kneel beside her
at the foot of the grave
Your daughter is crying
and you say she's in a better place
She was never perfect,
oh, my friend, neither were you.
