A Tramp Like You

A Tramp Like You
By James Pullen

Lyrics
...
[Verse 1]
The screen door slams, the wind cuts sharp,
Another empty chair at my worn-out heart.
Your perfume lingers, but the truth stings worse,
A love like yours? It’s more a curse.

[Prechorus]
I’d rather walk this road, battered and bare,
Than share my bed with lies and despair.

[Chorus]
I’m lonely as hell, but I’ll take the pain,
Better alone than caught in your game.
I’d rather forever hear the night’s cruel tune,
Than share my life with a tramp like you.

[Verse 2]
The coffee’s cold, the clock ticks slow,
I sit and wonder how I didn’t know.
Your sweet words were sugar on a bitter pill,
Now I’m choking on silence, but I’m here still.

[Chorus]
I’m lonely as hell, but I’ll take the pain,
Better alone than caught in your game.
I’d rather forever hear the night’s cruel tune,
Than share my life with a tramp like you.

[Bridge]
There’s freedom in these aching walls,
No echoes of your midnight calls.
I’ll take the weight of the lonesome blues,
Over the shadow of someone like you.
