I
used to be such a burning example,
I used to be so original.
I used to care, I was being cared
for.
Made sure I showed it to those
that I love.
I used to sleep without a single
stir,
'Cause I was about my
father's work.
Well take me out tonight,
This ship of fools I'm on will
sink.
I'm my own stone around my
neck,
Be my breath, there's nothing
I wouldn't give.
I used to pray like God was
listening.
I used to make my parents
proud.
I was the glue that kept my
friends together,
Now they don't talk and we
don't go out.
I used to know the name of every
person I'd kissed.
Now I've made this bed and I
can't fall asleep in it.
Well take me out tonight,
This ship of fools I'm on will
sink.
I'm my own stone around my
neck,
Be my breath, there's nothing
I wouldn't give.
Throw me that lifeline,
This ship of fools I'm on will
sink.
I'm my own stone around my
neck
Be my breath, there's nothing
I wouldn't give.
Never hit the brakes
there's no time to save
him,
He just ran out in the
street
anybody know his name?
I think I recognize him
Sure as hell paid for that
mistake
So take me out tonight.
This ship of fools I'm on will
sink.
I'm my own stone around my
neck.
Be my breath, there's nothing
I wouldn't give.
To save my life tonight.
This ship of fools I'm on will
sink
I'm my own stone around my
neck
Be my breath, there's nothing
I wouldn't give.
