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 "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 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, love never wanted me I hoped you choked and crashed your car Hey, tear catcher, that's all that you are 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 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 keyhole I watched you dress Kiss and tell Loose lips sink ships To the love, I left my conscience pressed Through the keyhole I watched you dress Kiss and tell Loose lips sink ships To the love I left my conscience pressed Through the keyhole 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.
