Heroes of Old

Sold Them Back Used


VERSE 1

I've given my all
Given my all
To you
You've taken my all
Taken his, too
She's gone down
Another path to truth


CHORUS

This girl is a book you can't read
This girl knows you'll always lose
This girl laughs at you when you say
"This girl, I think she likes the abuse"


VERSE 2

She's the one you knew
Tell all your secrets to
She took them all and you know
Doubled the price and sold them back used
And when you take back your heart
That's when she'll come running
She'll come runnin' back for you


END

I think she likes the abuse
I think she likes the abuse
I think she likes the abuse
I know she likes the abuse


Sold Them Back Used

Hint's Barn

(VERSE 1)

Oh it was one of those nights
where the smell of smoke was in the air
Such a cold night but no one really seemed to care
As a Red truck flew by and it's sirens wailed
I knew right then and there 
That Hint's barn was burning down

So I walked along the cracked brick street
Down to where the towns folk started to meet
They had circled the barn that had stood for some time
And were gathering the plot behind the tale
Thats when I saw her staring at the flames
Such a pretty lady but a damn shame
It wasn't her beauty that struck me down
It was that little smile instead of a frown 
She was a devil in disguise with a soul to show
She was still holding the match that had started the glow


(CHORUS)

She was a devil 
She was no good  
She was a devil
In disguise


(VERSE 2)

Well there was no way for me to  prove that I was right
But from the looks of it she was pleased with the sight
As she stared intently at that red fire light 
Well, she looked innocent enough

But I couldn't believe the idea that I was wrong
And I couldn't shake the cold from standing there so long
So I walked up to the fire and stood next to the girl
Who was holding that match with all her strength
And as she turned to walk away
I could have sworn that I heard her say 
That it wasn't her intention to burn it down
She just needed some amusement in that small town
She was a devil in disguise with a soul to show
She was still holding the match that had started the glow

Hint's Barn

The Way

VERSE 1:

It's the way that she adresses me
When she picks up the phone
Says shes so sick and tired
Of always sleeping alone
And then she calls out to me
By a different name
Says there's no need to worry cause
He's a long long ways away


CHORUS:	
I'm gonna burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it, to the ground

VERSE 2:

It's the way that she addresses me
When she opens the door
Say's she been missing me
And not to leave anymore
And then I call out to her
By that different name
Says there's no need to worry cause
I'm a long long ways away.
