lyrics

Stop me dead in my tracks
Before I do something that I can’t take back
Smack me dead in the mouth
Lest I give the vultures something else to devour

You said there’s no going back to the way things used to be
Everything’s different now darlin I’m sorry

Bite your tongue til it bleeds
Best not make promises you don’t plan to keep
Hold my head in your hands
If you won’t be my lover dammit be my best friend

Because there’s no going back to the way things used to be
Everythings changing now darlin’ are you ready

If given the chance we could have survived
We should’ve learned better but we never tried
No this ships sinking fast and there’s no land in sight
And I’ll be the first to admit it, no ones getting out of this alive

So stop me dead in my tracks
I’d come home runnin’ if only you’d ask
I know that your afraid to fight
But if you don’t you’ll regret for the rest of your life


Because there’s no going back…
This time I’m not coming back

If given the chance we could have survived
We should’ve learned better but we never tried
No this ships sinking fast and there’s no land in sight
And I’ll be the first to admit it, no ones getting out of this alive
