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 hands between legs to “whatever it takes”

To drinks at the club to the bar

To the keys to your car

To hotel stares/stairs to the emergency exit door

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

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 awe or sympathy

But never both

Love never wanted me

“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

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 no

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 say I say I say

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

To the "love" I left my conscience pressed

Through the keyholes i watched you dress

Kiss and tell

Loose lips sink ships

To the "love" I left my conscience pressed

Through the keyholes i watched you dress

Kiss and tell

Loose lips sink ships

To the "love" I left my conscience pressed

Through the keyholes i watched you dress

Kiss and tell

Loose lips sink ships

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
