Counterfeit(Lyrics)
The night outside was as Black as coal
Her heart was made of stone
i couldn’t find no place to go
God did i feel old
the night treats you like nothing but a fool
the keepers are the Devils tool
life has a way of letting you down and taking away your soul

she said she’d love but she lied
she was a counterfeit
A bit like the money she stole from Jim
Her story never seemed to fit
the nights were Black her heart was cold
The love i gave was never returned
i got lost on that lonely road while i lay on the bed with her

i cant count the wounds on my heart
the scars have become as hard as stone
she stabbed me once in my back and the wound never healed again
she’d used Devils knife like a sword
Life got bad it was hell, i was filled with sin and i never saw her no more

Ever since that lonely night, is wander the road
i’ve been looking in every dark corner, to try and find my soul
but it remains hidden it’s hiding with the rest, never to see the light of day
i think the Lord Cremated it, to help it on its way

she said she loved me
but she done told me a lie
i’ll remember that lie inside till the day i die
