Ani DiFranco - Served Faithfully Lyrics

he caresses every bottle 
like it's the first one he's had 
saying 
it ain't love 
but it ain't bad 
it's the only reward 
bestowed upon me 
and i have served faithfully 

and i can see he is scarred 
from doing some hard time 
but i let alone what is broken 
'cause it isn't mine 
he strikes out at me 
when i am within reach 
and then he reaches for me 
when i draw the line 

sometimes it seems like love 
is just a fancy word for compromise 
you gotta read between the years 
you gotta write between the lines 
you gotta try to understand 
the grandness of the man behind the petty crimes 
and let him off easy sometimes 

i have only just met 
an old old friend 
we've been walking around holding hands 
i hope some day he can bend 
as far as it takes to understand 
and risk breaking open again 

he caresses every bottle 
like it's the first one he's had 
saying 
it ain't love 
but it ain't bad 
it's the only reward 
bestowed upon me 
and i have served 
i have served faithfully
