Billy Bob Thornton The edge of the world album





God

(Billy Bob Thornton)


My bones are starting to show through
My eyes are dark and hollow
It's all because I'm missing you
It's getting hard for me to swallow

If magic doesn't really come
Why did you say it did?
If it's just a fantasy for some
What do I tell the kids?

Why did you take me by the hand
If you knew you could let it go?
Why did you lead me through that land
If it was just some kind of show?

I guess it doesn't really matter
What's not true is just not true
I guess you'll just keep getting fatter
Off the ones who are brand new

I've got this crazy feeling still
You'll live in a black hole
There'll be something there that you can't fill
Only this time it'll be your soul

Yet through all of this doubt
My mind still drifts out on a land
And you've figured it all out
And there's a child holding your hand
