Heartbreak Junky

So you fell in love, and it wasn't with me
 Hey that's fine, it's about time I let go
 But whatever curse you put here in me
 Can you lift it, babe, before I hit the road?
 You were a charmer, I was a heartbreak junky
 You were a diamond, I was the heap of fool's gold
 You were the jet plane, I was a parachute failing
 I was the cheap ad, when you were the centerfold
 Then my sun set hard on Carolina
 Where she howled about the Pender county line
 And her six-string fingers ran the length of some boy's body
 In younger dreams, I thought that body might be mine
 You were a cold crush, I was a heartbreak junky
 Now you're a mother, and I'm a flashback son
 Yeah, I'm a wasteland, you've got all your milk and honey
 And back then, I swore you were the only one
 So disenchant me baby, I've been dying to know
 How to give up, get out, stay gone
 Make me not wanna go back to the girl that I had before
 She was so sweet, baby, so sweet
 Maybe I can reconcile what I ripped into
 That haphazard, half-hearted love I was making with you
 Yeah, I made it with you
 But now the bars are closed, and the city sleeps tight
 As I ramble home my wretched merry way
 Where down was up, and feeling bad felt so right
 I thought that vertigo was here to stay
 We're talking hellfire, but at the time it seemed funny
 When all the demons left the woodwork to play
 With an angel, and a heartbreak junky
 Stuck in their rock-bottom masquerade
 So disenchant me baby, I've been dying to know
 How to give up, get out, stay gone
 Make me not wanna go back to the girl that I had before
 She was so sweet, baby, so sweet
 Maybe I can reconcile what I ripped into
 That haphazard, half-hearted love I was making with you
 Yeah, I made it with you
 So when Eden burns behind you in the rearview
 And you're off to find a stranger paradise
 Where you can sing your own way out
 Well, you know that I'll be 'round
 With a sweet talk woman fading slowly
 On a lovesick mind
