[Verse 1]

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"

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

"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)

[Pre-Chorus]

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 and to the emergency exit door, no

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

To the "love," I left my conscience pressed

Through the keyhole as I watched you dress

Kiss and tell, loose lips sink ships

To the "love," I left my conscience pressed

Through the keyhole as I watched you dress

Kiss and tell, loose lips sink ships

To the "love," I left my conscience pressed

Through the keyhole as I watched you dress

Kiss and tell, loose lips sink ships

[Outro]

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
