Battery Tongue

Could've been better but you threw it away She loved you but knew she couldn't stay Shooting your mouth off like it's a gun When this has all dried up and it's no fun Thinking you can do what you want to her But now she's gone, you're no longer together Drawing the leash where it should not be What she can't do is what you can't see Snapping at her like a dog you control Now she'll always regret that kiss she stole Now the filter's gone bad and you're the dead one Another love gone dry before the rising sunsomewhere in 2000, it's about an abusive relationship, actually the same guy as "jack in the box" if you've read that. ive been told by a few people that i should make this a bit longer. honestly there is a 3rd verse, but it really, really sucks so i didnt post it, but i'm considering heading back and adding more, what do you think?
