Hurt A Long Time

His hands are clenched
 His knuckles white
 He got a gun
 And gave up the fight
 When i found out
 I couldn't even cry
 Well i am now
 And i'm tryin' to figure out why
 I'll save it for you
 You save me from me
 And the hole in my head i can see
 Tell her i love her
 Tell the kids that i loved them
 Oh, it's a bad dream
 I've got only time
 Yeah, it's a bad dream
 I've got only time
 You know it's a bad dream
 I've got only time
 I wish it was a bad dream
 I wish it was a bad dream
 'Cause it's gonna hurt a long time, yeah
 He lies awake
 With saddened eyes
 Sleeping babies
 Keeping him alive
 I'll save it for you
 You save me from me
 And the hole in my head i can see
 Tell her i love her
 Tell the kids that i loved them
 Oh, it's a bad dream
 I've got only time
 Yeah, it's a bad dream
 I've got only time
 You know it's just a bad dream
 I've got only time
 I wish it was a bad dream
 I've got only time
 I wish it was a bad dream
 'Cause it's gonna hurt a long time, yeah
 Or get on with dying
