Jerry Cantrell - Hurt A Long Time lyrics

rate me

His hands are clenched

His knuckles white

He got a gun

And gave up the fight

When I found out

I couldn't even cry

Well I am now

And I'm tryin' to figure out why

I'll save it for you

You save me from me

And the hole in my head I can see

Tell her I love her

Tell the kids that I loved them

Oh, it's a bad dream

I've got only time

Yeah, it's a bad dream

I've got only time

You know it's a bad dream

I've got only time

I wish it was a bad dream

I wish it was a bad dream

'Cause it's gonna hurt a long time, yeah

He lies awake

With saddened eyes

Sleeping babies

Keeping him alive

I'll save it for you

You save me from me

And the hole in my head I can see

Tell her I love her

Tell the kids that I loved them

Oh, it's a bad dream

I've got only time

Yeah, it's a bad dream

I've got only time

You know it's just a bad dream

I've got only time

I wish it was a bad dream

I've got only time

I wish it was a bad dream

'Cause it's gonna hurt a long time, yeah
