Dark Horse Lyrics

I was a dark horse before you met me

I told you all about those days

Funny how secrets can be weapons when you need one

I always thought that you were pure

Told you that god was on the living room chair

I'll always know you as a snake in the grass

You were a fiction

You'll fade like pictures on the wall

You think you got away with most of me

But all I gave you was the ghost of me

You left the keys at reception

I lived for days out of my car

And summer was hellfire that year

I kept on feeling I had failed as a man

I slit my wrist to let the alcohol drain

Luckily god was in the living room chair

I'll always know you as a snake in the grass

You were a fiction

You'll fade like pictures on the wall

You think you got away with most of me

But all I gave you was the ghost of me

Yeah all I gave you was the ghost of me

Yeah all I gave you was the ghost of me
