Her life is sinking,
Drinking up this stinking pain
She gets to thinking,
"there's nothing now could ever change"

She lies for hours,
Crashed upon the concrete floor -
Remembers flowers
And looks that left her sweet heart raw

[chorus:]

Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart,
Sweetheart raw -
No hope, no fear;
No hope, no fear, no more

The drunken fumbling,
The shaking hands and shaken head
The constant stumbling
The ghosts of what she should have said

She sees her children
Crushed beneath her coward feet
Still not forgiven,
She's broken by her heart's sweet beat

[chorus x2]

Sweetheart raw
