Lyrics:

I knew that she was scared to love
Fragile in heart but wore it so tough
Said she worked too much for the effort it takes
To put up with me and never get paid

If I had a dollar for the times she wept
I’d be broke as I was born on the day of my death
It don’t take money it just takes time
But she’s taken them both, now I’m broke and alive

So cut ‘em off quickly, cut ‘em off clean
Don’t get too close boys she’s chopping down trees
Running like a child thinking they’re fast
She’s picking up speed outrunning her past

I know your loved ones crippled your dreams
Wanted you to be the hometown rodeo queen
And you’re fighting to find what you’ll never get back
That’s a dad who don’t drink and a mother who laughs

So cut ‘em off quickly, cut ‘em off clean
They don’t want what you got, they don’t have what you need
Tell ‘em your soul darling, speak ‘em your mind
If it burns in the end at least something’s on fire

Well your mind is at odds with your mouth when you speak
Too beat to be sad, too sad to be mean
I don’t care if they know, I don’t care if they see
Cause you either pay to find love or you pay to be free

So cut me off quickly and cut me off clean
I’m tired of praying illogical things
Ruin me bad as ruin can be
And I’ll head to that place where you’ll never find me

Cut me off quickly and cut me off clean
I’ve got blood in my mouth from clenching my teeth
Tell me you love me or tell me you don’t
Woman make up your mind cause I know that I won’t

You could've posted a warning before you straight attacked me. Listening on repeat, until the running leaves my feet.

Funny how songs find you when you're living the exact scenario ❤️

I am making this comment to establish that I heard this song before it was picked up with some sort of Yellowstone episode or some shit. Hopefully this guy blows up.

Every once in a while I find a song that resonates so deeply I have no choice but to listen on repeat until it's embedded in my very being. No matter how much time passes until my next listen, I will be transported back to this moment in time, this feeling. Kudos for writing such a soul-stirring piece.
