Shelter Lyrics - Bad Mother Trucker - Ten Foot Pole

If I lose all respect for you 

Can I still call you friend? 

Why expose myself to disappointment 

Over and over again? 

The cycle has to end 

(chorus) 

Can someone give me shelter 

From the pouring rain? 

If the water washed your lies away, 

Maybe I could trust you again 

If anything remained 

I'm tired of masking anger, 

With humor and diplomacy, 

I want to scream out all the fucked up things 

We both know about you 

Embrace the honesty 

(chorus) 

I'm sick of the pain, 

Give me one good reason, 

To believe that you'll change 

I wonder how we got this far, 

After all these years, 

I still don't know who you are. 

Like a dream I've fallen down, 

I need to wake up, 

before I hit the ground 

If the water washed you away, 

Could I be myself again? 

If the water washed you away, 

Could I be myself again? 

If the water washed you away, 

Could I be myself again?
