you take your arms and never lose
you've got no place to be tonight
and you're wasting my time
and i don't believe it's true
you bound my hands in your dark roots
tangled me up in your blues
and trembled beneath the love
that you thought that you would lose

you strangled time
entitled to the world you found in clues
and you had your own way
and you had blood on the words you say
and i stay dreaming about a memory
of you and the night

you had your own way
you had your own way
you had your own way
you had your own way
