Stabbing Backwards Lyrics
How can you call me your friend? (How can you call me your friend?) You run me around in circles. But your words slide off. You lie, so I won't try to fight you. These words they choke me. They resonate in my heart. My soul wo

One day near Christmas when I was just a child
Mama called us together and mama tried to smile
She said you know the cottoncrop hasn't been too good this year
