London Bridge
Ed Sheeran & Yelawolf Lyrics

There wasn't much left
I have almost nothing left

Except for the last twenty sack
I only have a small amount of drugs left

And the last twenty of my last check
I only have a small amount of money left

I took a pill and went to sleep on the last step
I took a pill and fell asleep on the last step of the stairway

Woke up and took it in with a half breath
I woke up and took a deep breath

Then a deep sigh, I struck a matchstick
I let out a deep sigh and lit a match

I lit my cigarette
I lit my cigarette

Feeling half dead, whiskey on my mind
I feel almost dead and am thinking about whiskey

Then came the dead
Then the dead came (referring to the police or authority)

Sheriff in the yard, here comes the rest
The sheriff and others are coming to my location

I sat like a ghost, they all passed by
I sat still like a ghost and everyone passed by me

My girl cried baby this'll be my last bye
My girlfriend said goodbye and cried because she thinks it's the last time we'll see each other

Baby in her arms
She held our baby

She took a cab home
She took a taxi home

She told me I was only good for a sad song
She told me that I'm only good at writing sad songs

A crooked smile I gave
I gave a crooked smile

Nonchalant about it
I am not concerned about it

Maybe she'll come back
Maybe she'll come back to me

This time I doubt it
But I doubt it

Act like I care, but I really don't
I pretend to care, but I really don't

Wanted to change
I wanted to change my ways

But somehow I knew I really won't
But deep down I knew that I probably wouldn't change

See I'm the type of man, who can't stay out the bottle
I am the type of man who can't stay away from alcohol

If the sun is out I'd rather be in the shadow
I prefer to be in the shadow when the sun is out

Sadness is like a wound that I can't heal
Sadness is like a wound that won't heal

Maybe I'll love blood, I just let it spill
Perhaps I like the sight of blood, and I let it spill

And I never turned to church for a pray in hand
I never turned to the church to pray for help

God's not going to land another saving hand
God won't save me again

If the time came like it has time again
If the time came again, like it has before

Then I would watch the clock and be late again
Then I would watch the clock and be late again

One gun and a Harley in the driveway
I have a gun and a Harley parked in the driveway

One way out, dirt road, pathway
My only way out is a dirt road pathway

Put another dead butt in the ash tray
I put another cigarette butt in the ashtray

I stand up still drunk, half baked
I stand up while still drunk or high

Cover my eyes from the bright morning sun blaring
I cover my eyes from the bright sun

And through the fence I can see this little boy staring
Through the fence, I see a little boy staring at me

Paid him no attention
I didn't pay him any attention

In fact I barely seen him
In fact, I barely saw him

Until he walked away
Until he walked away from me

And he started singing
He started to sing

London Bridge is falling down, falling down
The London Bridge is falling down

And if it don't stop falling, then all of us will drown
If it doesn't stop falling, we will all drown

Then we'll crash, crash, right down again
Then we will crash and fall again

Oh we'll crash, crash, right down again
Oh, we will crash and fall again

I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming

I didn't see the wall
I didn't see the wall that I hit

And I went from running, to a slow crawl
I went from running to crawling slowly

I feel like I'm a child, but I'm afraid to cry
I feel like a child, but I am afraid to cry

Would say I'm okay but I'm afraid to lie
I would say that I'm okay, but I am afraid to lie

I speak no evil, but hear no angels
I don't speak evil, but I don't hear any angels

A family is callin' but all I see is strangers
My family is calling me, but all I see is strangers

Take the bible from the hotel drawer
I take the bible from the hotel room drawer

Hell froze over ice cold hell's door
It's so cold and harsh, it feels like hell

Knock knock
Someone is knocking on my door

I'm on the salt road non stop
I'm on the road without breaks, driving continuously

The exit I will pass 'cause the sign did rot
I'll pass the exit because the sign is rotten and unreadable

And the gust of a dry summer
And the gust of a dry summer wind

Dirty water in the tap
The water from the tap is dirty

I think I found my number in the sand
I think I found my number (perhaps a phone number) written in the sand

Right next to an empty can
It was next to an empty can (of alcohol, perhaps)

Old number seven, Jack is back again
I found an old bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey (number seven) and I am drinking it again

And the voice goes round and round
A voice (perhaps in my head) repeats itself over and over again

I would take the bridge
I would choose to cross the bridge

But I can't forget the sound
But I can't forget that sound (referring to the bridge falling and crashing, mentioned earlier)

I'll be coming up when the sun goes down
I'll be awake when the sun goes down

Rolling like a rock 'til I hit the ground
I'm rolling like a rock until I hit the ground, probably referring to drug use

Running from the law but I can't be found
I am running away from the police, but they can't catch me

Only my God can track me down
Only God can find me
