Drown Me
Trisha Yearwood · Heaven, Heartache, and the Power of Love [2007]
You're afraid to look me in the eye
Let's order up a bottle of the good stuff
And drink until we don't know how to lie.
So won't you give it to me straight
I got a lot of heart to break
And a lot of love for you that needs to die.
Won't you hurt me and hurt me good
Let the truth burn like it should
Don't just pour it on
Drown me
Ooh Lord drown me.
When you say it won't you say it with conviction
Hey when you leave don't leave no room for doubt
It won't be easy kicking this addiction
If there's one ounce of hope left to be found
So won't you make it something strong
Till everything we had is gone
I know you've got it in you if you try.
Won't you hurt me and hurt me good
Let the truth burn like it should
Don't just pour it on
Drown me.
So won't you give it to me straight
I've got a stubborn old heart to break
And a lot of love for you that needs to die.
Won't you hurt me and hurt me good
Let the truth burn like it should
Don't just pour it on
Drown me.
Come on drown me.
Ooh Lord drown me...
