Even Trade

Verse1
Can't seem to get you outta my veins
you're in my dreams
you won't go away
you're in my drink
you're in the air
so I can't breathe
you love me
I hate you
but you just won't go away

Verse2
You make my life
a livin' madness
you wine and cry
just to get your way
keep kickin' 
you ain't gettin' nothin' from me
you bring the anger outta me so much
that I can't see

Bridge
Get out
don't come back
'cause you're just another
one that I don't need
tear me apart
like the dog you are

Chorus
How 'bout we make an Even Trade
you get out
I'll go to were I'm supposed to be
let's make an Even Trade
you stop bein' a dog
I'll be the guy
you want me to be
let's make an Even Trade
you see me
turn and walk the other way
and I won't tell you
what I think of you
sounds good to me

Verse3
I know you wanna show me what you got
I don't wanna see it
get away from me
yeah you used to have what I need
you were everything I wanted
'til you turned your back
and walked out on me
you remember that
sure you do

Repeat Bridge and Chorus

(solo)

Verse4
I used to slide my arms around you
but you didn't wanna hold on to me
so out the door you went
but you keep comin' back for more
you used to bring out the best in me
I guess it wasn't enough for you
I'm not buyin
what you're sellin'
so why can't you go somewhere
and forget about you and me
'cause I'm not fallin' anymore

Repeat Bridge and Chorus

Author's Notes/Comments: 

"Even Trade" was another one I wrote out of anger toward women who would use me and wouldn't give me the time of day. To me, it's like you go one way and I'll go another. As long as they stay away from me then everything will be ok. I don't like users.
