[Verse 1]
I comb the crowd and pick you out
My mouth moves too fast for you to figure it out
It starts eyes closed to fingers crossed
To "I swear, I say"
To "I swear, I say"
[Pre-Chorus]
To hands between legs, to "whatever it takes"
To drinks at the club, to the bar
To the keys to your car, to hotel stairs
To the emergency exit door
[Chorus]
To the "love," I left my conscience
Pressed between the pages of
The Bible in the drawer, "What did it ever do for me"
I say
[Post-Chorus]
It never calls me when I'm down
Love never wanted me, but I took it, anyway
Put your ear to the speaker and choose love or sympathy
But never both, love never wanted me
[Verse 2]
"I hoped you choked and crashed your car"
Hey "tear catcher," that's all that you are
And ever were from the start
I swear, I say
I swear, I say
[Pre-Chorus]
To hands between legs, to "whatever it takes"
To drinks at the club, to the bar
To the keys to your car, to hotel stairs
To the emergency exit door
[Chorus]
To the "love," I left my conscience
Pressed between the pages of
The Bible in the drawer, "What did it ever do for me"
I say
[Post-Chorus]
It never calls me when I'm down
Love never wanted me, but I took it, anyway
Put your ear to the speaker and choose love or sympathy
But never both, no
[Bridge]
To the "love," I left my conscience pressed
Through the keyhole as I watched you dress
Kiss and tell
Loose lips sink ships
To the "love," I left my conscience pressed
Through the keyhole as I watched you dress
Kiss and tell
Loose lips sink ships
To the "love," I left my conscience pressed
Through the keyhole as I watched you dress
Kiss and tell
Loose lips sink ships
[Outro]
To the "love," I left my conscience pressed
To the "love," I left my conscience pressed
To the "love," I left my conscience pressed
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer
"What did it ever do for me," I say...
I comb the crowd and pick you out
My mouth moves too fast for you to figure it out
It starts eyes closed to fingers crossed
To "I swear, I say"
To "I swear, I say"
[Pre-Chorus]
To hands between legs, to "whatever it takes"
To drinks at the club, to the bar
To the keys to your car, to hotel stairs
To the emergency exit door
[Chorus]
To the "love," I left my conscience
Pressed between the pages of
The Bible in the drawer, "What did it ever do for me"
I say
[Post-Chorus]
It never calls me when I'm down
Love never wanted me, but I took it, anyway
Put your ear to the speaker and choose love or sympathy
But never both, love never wanted me
[Verse 2]
"I hoped you choked and crashed your car"
Hey "tear catcher," that's all that you are
And ever were from the start
I swear, I say
I swear, I say
[Pre-Chorus]
To hands between legs, to "whatever it takes"
To drinks at the club, to the bar
To the keys to your car, to hotel stairs
To the emergency exit door
[Chorus]
To the "love," I left my conscience
Pressed between the pages of
The Bible in the drawer, "What did it ever do for me"
I say
[Post-Chorus]
It never calls me when I'm down
Love never wanted me, but I took it, anyway
Put your ear to the speaker and choose love or sympathy
But never both, no
[Bridge]
To the "love," I left my conscience pressed
Through the keyhole as I watched you dress
Kiss and tell
Loose lips sink ships
To the "love," I left my conscience pressed
Through the keyhole as I watched you dress
Kiss and tell
Loose lips sink ships
To the "love," I left my conscience pressed
Through the keyhole as I watched you dress
Kiss and tell
Loose lips sink ships
[Outro]
To the "love," I left my conscience pressed
To the "love," I left my conscience pressed
To the "love," I left my conscience pressed
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer
"What did it ever do for me," I say...
