lyrics

Well, the damned thing should be broken
the way you flung that window open
open wide
Put the war before the battle
aimed and shot down every shadow
I could hide
Put the ground to the maker
flip back up the circuit breaker
of my pride
Some other substance in my body
trying to fill up all the emptiness
inside

'Cause it's so hard to find a handle
makes me wish there'd been some scandal
instead of this
Time stands still up on the mantle
ticking, talking out the poison
in a kiss
When I took it on the arm
I didn't mean suggesting all of that was free
but now much to may alarm I find that freedom's all that's left you want from me

But, baby, don't you leave me
baby, don't leave me this way
Tell me that your lips deceived me
but only in the words they moved to say
The night is nearly over
tomorrow's just another day
baby, say that you won't leave me
baby, don't leave me this way

For all the dark that I put you through
you know it cannot fall to me to leave you
here today
and all that portraiture that you drew
makes it all the more unreasonable you stay
So I put my pen to paper
feeling like the Savior blessing his own wounds
and you're dressing and you're singing
and the pretty words come stinging
from the other room
