I heard her name come around
A beautiful girl, outside my circle
Highly acclaimed for tearing men down
She grabbed my heart and colored it purple
I couldn't prepare
I couldn't cool off
Every day we went to heaven and back
But now the hour's dry
On her clock
On down the line she goes
Left behind
I tried to find salvation in her hand
A phantom limb (I've let her under my skin)
Bar the door
I can't afford the cost of what it takes
To see her with him (I know where she's been)
Three, two, one
Fall asleep (Fall into, fall into sleep)
Three, two, one
Superseded
"Wait your turn," mother say
"Beautiful girls, they mock your patience
I bet she had a line of boys today
Gave them hope, and sent them on their way"
I wish I didn't know how far she goes
(I wish I didn't know how far she goes)
It hurts all the more to see
(It hurts, it hurts, it hurts)
I should have cut the cord (Cut it)
When she said hello
(It's nice to meet you)
'Cause I'm begging for release
Left behind (Left behind)
I tried to find salvation in her hand (Didn't find it)
A phantom limb (I've let her under my skin)
(No, I didn't find it)
Bar the door (Bar the door)
I can't afford the cost of what it takes (Can't afford it)
To see her with him (I know where she's been)
Three, two, one
Fall asleep (Fall into, fall into sleep)
Three, two, one
Superseded
Woah
Woah
I heard her name come around
She grabbed my heart and colored it
And colored it
And painted it purple
Left behind
I tried to find salvation in her hand
A phantom limb (I've let her under my skin)
Bar the door
I can't afford the cost of what it takes
To see her with him (I know where she's been)
Three, two, one
Fall asleep (Fall into, fall into sleep)
Three, two, one
Superseded
I'm tired of being
I'm tired of being
I'm tired of (all these bad takes, that's what I'm tired of)
