Little Black Flies

Two, three

A long time ago
I was in love with a girl
And I think I took that love a little too far

You can see the cigarette burns on the wall
And all the empty bottles in the hall
If the water gets too rough, you know who to call
Don't you babe?

And I can see the way he looks in your eyes
A sold soul lost with his foolish lies
If you even have to ask baby, I'm surprised
I'm so surprised

Sometimes you gotta leave your lover
If you wanna learn to love again

Little black flies
Flyin' all around the kitchen
Little black flies
Broken wings and bad decisions

Well here I am, and it's another night
It's two AM, and I can still hear your fight
I walk up the stairs lit up by the old porch light
It's burning bright
I open the door and I bust on in
I can tell right away from the bruises on your skin
Everything changed when I saw that gun in his hand
And I don't understand

A shot rang out in the name of love
And I fell right down in a pool of blood
Little black flies
Flyin' all around the kitchen
Little black flies
Broken wings and bad decisions
Oooooh

Oh, little black flies
Flyin' all around the kitchen
Little black flies
Broken wings and bad decisions

Oh
Ooooh
