EVEN by Tom Jensen
That I stick to beer and pot
About me that says a lot
Shows I still have some self-control
Yet at the same time I just wanna let go…
Just need to escape
But I know there’s no escape
Most times I find
I’m too smart for my own good
So I don’t do things I should
End up in places other people never would…
The one true cost can only be paid with time
That’s the way it is with love
No use trying to deny it
Or crying out shouting you’ll defy it
All that’s been said
Is still in your head
You can accept or reject it
A body, heart, mind, soul infection
This seemingly fatal affliction
Everything thrown at you but the kitchen sink
And you’re thinking
It really is time give up drinking
Better that than loving
Sometimes loving is better than leaving
Sometimes leaving is better than living
In deception and self-deceiving
If you catch my drift
And take this tip
I’d call us even
Maybe that would end this rhyme
With some reason…
