Sweet Tea by George Gadd Lyrics

Sketched out your name in the fog of my mirror
As I scrubbed out each sin, it was clear
That all the scattered light had frozen in time
Leaving patterns and shapes in my mind

And whisky cures wounds that time cannot heal
I’ve been kicked down by words just as strong
But a woman like you, can take all my youth
Leave me broken and bruised in the head

You’re the smoke on my shirt
And the blood in my teeth
I will try to be me

But I scaled your gate trying to reclaim my soul
We were kids when I kicked it to you
But i wasn’t so sly and you saw me hide
Throwing fruit at me in the stocks

You’re the smoke on my shirt and the blood in my teeth
I will try to be better for you and me
