you got a halo around your neck
and a hollow place where our skin met
you got an ocean in your eyes
where i could drown and gladly die
didn't get enough gold for the souls you sold
didn't get enough pay for the songs you played
because your idea of fun
is hurting everyone that ever gave a damn about you
your idea of grace
comes in a bottle that you drink 'til you can't recognize your face
whoa!
and all the money that you spend
buys you all these favors that you can't spend
you got a look like you need a friend
i'll be there 'til the very end
didn't get enough gold for the souls you sold
didn't get enough pay for the songs you played
because your idea of fun
is hurting everyone that ever gave a damn about you
your idea of grace
comes in a bottle that you drink 'til you can find a little faith
whoa!
you can write songs about me
with catchy choruses
about how i hurt your heart
but it's just a muscle so you'll live...
whoa!
i don't love you
you don't love me
you don't need to save me, save me
and this is the last step
so i will hold my breath
and if i die a little death
you'll know you were all that's left
i don't love you
you don't love me
you don't need to save
don't need to save
don't need to save me...
