Hurt A Long Time — Jerry Cantrell

His hands are clenched

His knuckles white

He got a gun

And gave up the fight

When I found out

I couldnt even cry

Well I am now

And Im tryin to figure out why

Ill save it for you

You save me from me

And the hole in my head I can see

Tell her I love her

Tell the kids that I loved them

Oh, its a bad dream

Ive got only time

Yeah, its a bad dream

Ive got only time

You know its a bad dream

Ive got only time

I wish it was a bad dream

I wish it was a bad dream

cause its gonna hurt a long time, yeah

He lies awake

With saddened eyes

Sleeping babies

Keeping him alive

Ill save it for you

You save me from me

And the hole in my head I can see

Tell her I love her

Tell the kids that I loved them

Oh, its a bad dream

Ive got only time

Yeah, its a bad dream

Ive got only time

You know its just a bad dream

Ive got only time

I wish it was a bad dream

Ive got only time

I wish it was a bad dream

cause its gonna hurt a long time, yeah
