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,
The ship of fools I’m on will sink.
A millstone around my neck,
Be my breath, there’s nothing I wouldn’t give.
I used to pray a 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 kissed.
Now I made this bed and I can’t fall asleep in it.
Take me out tonight,
The ship of fools I’m on will sink.
A millstone around my neck,
Be my breath, there’s nothing I wouldn’t give.
Throw me that lifeline,
The ship of fools I’m on will sink.
A millstone 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’s run out in the street.
Anybody know his name?
I think I recognize him.
(Sure it’s him?)
He’s made from our mistakes.
Woah.
Woah.
So take me out tonight.
The ship of fools I’m on will sink.
A millstone around my neck.
Be my breath, there’s nothing I wouldn’t give.
To save my life tonight.
The ship of fools I’m on will sink.
A millstone around my neck.
Be my breath, there’s nothing I wouldn’t give.
