Permanent Sleep

I bent over backwards and broke my neck
And I stood up quick and then I hit the deck
I get up slow, you stop and smile
Then I smile back and you run a mile
So then we take a backwards step
Then you forgive me but never forget
You cut me deep, you cut me deep
You cut me deep for permanent sleep
You gave to me the years of life
Then I turn my back and you use your knife
You gave to me your pain and tears
They went through my head like foreign spears
You gave to me your pain and tears
You cut me deep, you cut me deep
You cut me deep for permanent sleep
I hated it
I bent over backwards and broke my neck
And I stood up quick and then I hit the deck
I get up slow, you stop and smile
Then I smile back and you run a mile
I say my peace then I’ll be gone
The sun of a dark love, the sun that you shun
You cut me deep, you cut me deep
You cut me deep for permanent sleep
