“Dirty Work”
By Nick Samuels
Verse 1
I just want to lay down
I think it’s safe now to breathe
I’ll get by, I’ll get by
I said I’d be strong
I wouldn’t fall to my knees
For your lies, For your lies
Somehow it went wrong
Again you pulled me in with ease
Tell me why, tell me why
Chorus
You don’t feel me no more
I’m just here to do your dirty work
You don’t love me no more
To you love is just a dirty word
And here we are again
You crush everything that’s good in me
I thought you were my friend
But you’re just my closest enemy
Verse 2
Rewind to the beginning
When you took my breath away
I was sure, you were mine
But you were just pretending
It’s just the game that you play
Don’t you try, to deny
This cycle’s never ending
You take the perfect part of me
Use it up, say goodbye
Bridge
A dirty word
Has no meaning until it hurts
And the tears fall like rain
How can we work
When I’d give my life for you
But you would never do the same
