To these bloodshot eyes You’re a sight to behold
They couldn’t be distracted by diamonds or gold
They’re just hanging on you, like you’re hanging on me
You hang onto hope like a leaf to a tree
Sweet sorrow surrender, unconditionally to me
I’ll fight tooth and nail to defend your thinly veiled vanity
I’m the last of the great pretenders
At least that’s what I pretend to be
Sweet sorrow come surrender now unto me
You’re married to him, yet you cling to my sleeve
Oh what a tangled web love doth weave
He don’t treat you right, not like he should
Come home with me darling and I’ll treat you good
I just can’t leave you there knocking on wood
So come home with me darling and I’ll treat you good
Sweet sorrow surrender, unconditionally to me
I’ll fight tooth and nail to defend your thinly veiled vanity
I’m the last of the great pretenders
At least that’s what I pretend to be
Sweet sorrow surrender now unto me
To these bloodshot eyes You’re a sight to behold
They couldn’t be distracted by diamonds or gold
