Alice Howe - Line by Line

I wouldn't call it early but it's not too late
I played my hand I gotta leave the rest to fate
I could lie here cryin' or try to understand
My chips are gone I can't make no more demands

Well it's hard to face it I let it get so bad
I stuck a knife into the life I had
Nobody made me do it and I blame myself
I wouldn't give that power to no one else

I'm guilty I got nothin' more to say
I'm not a bad girl I'm just used to gettin' my way
I got a dreamin' soul from another time
A willin' heart and an open mind
If you should care to find you can read me line by line

My daddy left me I got a broken heart
It's a good excuse or it's a place to start
I loved him dearly and I watched him die
But I caught his spirit I keep it safe inside

I'm guilty I got nothin' more to say
I'm not a bad girl I'm just used to gettin' my way
I got a dreamin' soul from another time
A willin' heart and an open mind
If you should care to find you can read me line by line

I know you tried but it wasn't enough
I had a hungry soul boy I ate you up
Deal another while the flames are high
There's no use waiting baby watch me fly

I'm guilty I got nothin' more to say
I'm not a bad girl I'm just used to gettin' my way
I got a dreamin' soul from another time
A willin' heart and an open mind
If you should care to find you can read me line by line
