City lights and cigarettes
Chasing goals that don't exists
The life you think you hold
You know it holds you
Whiskey and a poison word
They go down deeper than they should
And I've been taking your hits like a soldier
Oh like I told ya
Don't mean to start no trouble
Don't mean to start no trouble
Don't mean to start no trouble, dear
You're haunting love like your cocaine
Rush the high that numbs the pain
Your comfort comes so cheap, it leaves you lonesome
And ain't it just the same you see
You want me more the more I leave
I've been taking your hits like I told ya
Like a soldier
Don't mean to start no trouble
Don't mean to start no trouble
Don't mean to start no trouble, dear
Don't mean to start no trouble
Don't mean to start no trouble
Don't mean to start no trouble, dear
And now the shadows stalking me
Whispering all that we could be
But I won't let you go until it's over
Like I told ya
Don't mean to start no trouble
Don't mean to start no trouble
Don't mean to start no trouble, dear
Don't mean to start no trouble
Don't mean to start no trouble
Don't mean to start no trouble, dear
