about

doing shady deals and shady things in shady places with shady people and hurting the person he loves in the process

lyrics

I can be bought, I can be sold
I make my deals out in the cold
There's different truth on dusty roads
I promised you, I will not go

But I do, I do, I do
I say I won't, I say I don't
I say I can't, but I do

I break some rules, I do some bad
It's hard to tell just where I'm at
The boundaries, they blur, I know
I cross the line, I say I don't

But I do, I do, I do
I say I won't, I say I don't
I say I can't, but I do

They flash their gold, they trade with lies
I think it over, I justify
Leave love behind
I play the game, I pay the price
I take the offer, I say I don't
But I do

There should be guilt, there should be shame
I brought you hurt, I am to blame
I try to hide in smoky haze
I say I don't feel any pain

But I do, I do, I do
I say I won't, I say I don't
I say I can't, but I do

I have been bought, I have been sold
I made bad deals out in the cold
There's sinful proof on nowhere roads
Buried so deep, you'll never know
But I do
