Pretty Girl from Raleigh

The Avett Brothers

Who sold you this anger 
I suspect it was your friends 
Or was it a stranger 
Convincing you that this was the end 

And I would like to thank you 
For coming round and doing this 
My nights have been pretty painful 
Losing that pain was always the trick 

You always said that I was lying 
That I was just a selfish man 
But I all ready gave it all away 
So you can let go of my selfish hand 

So bye bye bye bye bye 
I ain’t got time to watch you cry 
Cause I’ve been drinking seven hours now 
Sympathy is a waste of my high 

And I would like to say it hurts me (but it don’t) 
That I don’t know just what to do (but I do) 
But it don’t hurt when you’re just killing time 
I was killing time and I think that you knew
