Casualty of Love

Now, her every word rings clear and true
Just how a love would feel
Down where lies'll cut you deep
And you ain't yet a man, hear what I say
She said, don't go down there boy
Let me tell ya, I've been down there

I got tangled in the arms
You can take one through the heart
Now, I sit and wait and wonder as I cry myself to sleep
That on love street they've got signs
And goodbyes are loaded guns

Of one gone bad

And I know
But still I had to find out
Lord and yours might be the next one
Another casualty of love
You know, love will cut you down

That say watch for falling victims
Why I couldn't heed what my mama said?
She said, listen to me, son, it's so
Now, I've come to realize what love can do

Dreams get run down in the night
