I was twenty three and knew the answers
Couldn't tell me anything
Till I was dressed in black and cursing
Cancer wasn't ready for the sting
Mama said I was unruly
And the loss would make it worse
Mama said I was unruly
And the loss would make it worse
Mama said I was unruly
And the loss would make it worse
Yeah the neighbors they prayed for me
But I never liked the church
They say life don't give you what you want
But rather what you need
Well this'd be the start of men I love but couldn't he
I was twenty five and leaving texas
'cause the coast held on my dreams
He was cost kind but I was self destructive
And my heart stained everything
Mama said I was unruly
And the loss would make it worse
Yeah the neighbors they prayed for me
But I never liked the church
They say life don't give you what you want
But rather what you need
Well this is just the tale of men I love
But couldn't keep save my soul
Save my soul
Can save my soul
Can save my soul
Yeah I know you think you love me
But if you get close you'll be
Just another man I couldn't be
