Never took your side, Never cursed your name I keep my lips shut tight Until you go oh oh oh We've come as far As we're ever gonna get Until you realize, That you should go I'm in misery where you can seem as old as your omens And the mother we share will never keep your proud head from falling The way is long but you can make it easy on me And the mother we share will never keep our cold hearts from calling In the dead of night I'm the only one here And I will cover you Until you go oh oh oh And if I told the truth, I will always be free And keep a prize with me Until you go oh oh oh I'm in misery where you can seem as old as your omens And the mother we share will never keep your proud head from falling The way is long but you can make it easy on me And the mother we share will never keep our cold hearts from calling Until the night falls, We're the only ones left I bet you even know, Where we could go oh oh oh And when it all fucks up, You put your head in my hands It's a souvenir For when you go-o-oh I'm in misery where you can seem as old as your omens And the mother we share will never keep your proud head from falling The way is long but you can make it easy on me And the mother we share will never keep our cold hearts from calling
