Lyrics Boss Inside - Adam Green

Boss Inside

How do you find the guy around here
I’ve already sped through a year
I’ve already tried all the campus bars at night
And even cried alone at the diner
Somewhere there’s a prince
And he likes to strike me down
I know I’m not the reason
I’m just the one he found
And all these other cowards
They’re not hard to boss around
You just get them in your arms
And you hold them 'til they drown
I walked back to the cottage with no hand around my wrist
When I heard the sound of vodka bottles breaking
I went out to the clearing, he was standing with a fist
But I couldn’t see the face that he was making
He said «Make me some dinner»
I said «I thought you’d never ask»
He was standing in my kitchen
I was filling up his glass
He finally started screaming
And pointing to the bed
He wanted me to kill him
But I took his life instead
Ugly moments strung together
And the poor guy couldn’t even find his temper
And he could no longer make me cry
I guess the boss inside of him died
I guess the boss inside of him died
I guess the boss inside of him died
