Poison in the Ground
I'm different than I was
I talk about God
I talk to my anger and temper my speech
I miss my family but that's not new to me
And God gave them back when you let me be
When I lost you
You threatened your life
But wasn't that every day with us on the edge of a knife
I watched you fall I watched you lie
I drove back home to look you in the eye
We walked real slow and silent on the beach
Sinking down into the belly of the beast
Here on our plate is the worst part of you and the worst part of me
And I can tell you what I've found
The grass is greener where you water it
Unless there's poison in the ground
One thing I learned from you is how things die
Sometimes they just go and then they're gone
There doesn't have to be a reason why
I tell myself I left to save my life
I hope you find yourself a more committed wife
Here on our plate is the worst part of you and the worst part of me
And I can tell you what I've found
The grass is greener where you water it
Unless there's poison in the ground
