Little Black Flies

A long time ago

I was in love with a girl

And I think I took that love a little too far

You can see the cigarette burns on the wall

And all the empty bottles in the hall

If the water gets too rough, you know who to call, don't you, baby?

And I can see the way he looks in your eyes

A soul so lost with his foolish lies

If you even have to ask, baby, I'm surprised, I'm so surprised

Sometimes you gotta leave your lover

If you wanna learn to love again

Little black flies

Flying all around the kitchen

Little black flies

Broken wings and bad decisions

Well, here I am and it's another night

It's 2 AM and I can still hear y'all fight

I walk up the stairs lit up by the old porch light

It's burning bright

I open the door and I bust on in

I can tell right away from the bruises on your skin

Everything changed when I saw that gun in his hand

And I don't understand

A shot rang out in the name of love

And I fell right down in a pool of blood

Pool of blood

Little black flies

Flying all around the kitchen

Little black flies

Broken wings and bad decisions

Little black flies

Flying all around the kitchen

Little black flies

Broken wings and bad decisions
