clothing"
Gutter Lyrics
I used to be a
beggar
A beggar for your love
Then you used and abandont me
This time I had enough
Remember when you
showed up at my place
The way you just pushed me to the floor
Remember when you spat in my face
And later came knocking on my door
You left me in
the gutter, gutter, gutter
You left me in the gutter, gutter,
You left me in
the gutter, gutter, gutter
Left me in the gutter
You've become a
beggar
But I'm not gonna let you in
Won't make you even think I will
Consider this again
Remember how you
told me you hate
The way that I am, the way I speak
Remember that I'm the one you're afraid
For everything that makes you weak
You left me in
the gutter, gutter, gutter
You left me in the gutter, gutter,
You left me in
the gutter, gutter,
You left me in
the gutter, gutter, gutter
If you are
falling
I'm not gon'
catch you
When you come crying
I'm not gon' dry your tears
If you were dying
I wouldn't safe
you
I'll leave you in
the gutter, gutter, gutter
I'll leave you in the gutter, gutter
I'll leave you in the gutter, gutter, gutter
I'll leave you in the gutter, gutter, gutter
I will leave you
in the gutter
I will leave you in the gutter
Like you left me
I will leave you in the gutter
I will leave you in the gutter
Like you left me
