Selfish Mistress Lyrics by American Nomads

Ghost Highway

2017

The daylight is bright, you sit alone with the curtains drawn
You feel the need to hide away
When the sun’s down, you broke down
And you hide in your darkened room
Just waiting for another day
Your body aches from your mistakes
You can’t control her power over you
Still, you don’t want to get away
You get straight, it feels great
When she wraps you in her arms again
She pulls you tight so you can never get away
In the end you feel nothing, but the poison in your veins
A selfish mistress that will only bring you pain
You curse the day you met her
And you send her on her way
Until you miss her warm embracе and take her back again
You lose hеr and then you find her
But all along she’s never really gone
‘Cause without her you know you just can’t be whole
You can’t go because you know when she stole your heart long ago
She also stole your soul
In the end you feel nothing, but the poison in your veins
A selfish mistress that will only bring you pain
You curse the day you met her
And you send her on her way
Until you miss her warm embrace and take her back again
Daylight’s fading, and you’re still waiting
For the knock on the door that let’s you know that she’s back once more
When she’s gone you miss her
So you let her in your heart again
It feels like she’s your only friend
Still you know without a doubt
That her love was never what it seemed
And with a smile she stole your dreams
In the end you feel nothing, but the poison in your veins
A selfish mistress that will only bring you pain
You curse the day you met her
And you send her on her way
Until you miss her warm embrace and take her back again
In the end you feel nothing, but the poison in your veins
A selfish mistress that will only bring you pain
You curse the day you met her
And you send her on her way
Until you miss her warm embrace and take her back again
