lyrics

You always skip before you run
I’m not why you came undone
Scratch the floors take the door off the hinges while you’re young
A little soup on your tongue
You got burnt more than some
And there’s a room that is empty when your time comes

It won’t help to keep it open
Not the slightest little crack
I am not leaving, I’m just not coming back

You’ve been taken for a ride
You were pain’s shotgun bride.
You might roll with the punches but you can’t let them slide
The heart goes bump in the night
Tends to bruise in the light
Brings the sky down to hold the roof on tight

It won’t help to keep it open
Not the slightest little crack
I am not leaving, I’m just not coming back

Go and give the guard a break
He’ll never get what I won’t take
I’m not leaving you I’m just not coming back
It’s time to give up this old ghost
I see you’re tired of playing host
I’m not leaving you I’m just not coming back

It won’t help to keep it open
Not the slightest little crack
I am not leaving, I’m just not coming back
