Rip Off

Ryan Adams · Easy Tiger [2007]

I can name the people I know that don't know themselves

Without talking to nobody

I can count to people I know that want to fix themselves

Without taking my hands out of my pockets



I make these promises but all my promises hurt

It's like they never get a lift off

So if I'm being honest with you and it seems like I'm being cruel

At least you didn't get a rip off, a rip off



And you'll know how I feel

I've got faith in you

And it's a little too late for "goodbyes"

Good morning, open your eyes



I can see the tears so long before they know your face

I can almost draw the lines

But when you smile it spins me like a ferris wheel

Washed out to sea in your eyes



I make these promises but all my promises hurt

It's like they never get a lift off

So if I'm being honest with you and i seems like I'm being cruel

At least you didn't get a rip off, a rip off, a rip off



And you'll know how I feel

Like a rip off, a rip off, a rip off
