[Verse 1]

How do we fall in love?

Harder than a bullet could hit ya

How do we fall apart?

Faster than a hairpin trigger

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't you say, don't you say it

Don't say, don't you say it

One breath, it'll just break it

So shut your mouth and run me like a river

[Chorus]

Shut your mouth, baby, stand and deliver

Holy hands, will they make me a sinner?

Like a river, like a river

So shut your mouth and run me like a river

Choke this love 'til the veins start to shiver

One last breath 'til the tears start to wither

Like a river, like a river

So shut your mouth and run me like a river

[Verse 2]

Tales of an endless heart

Cursed is the fool who's willing

Can't change the way that we are

One kiss away from killing

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't you say, don't you say it

Don't say, don't you say it

One breath, it'll just break it

So shut your mouth and run me like a river

[Chorus]

Shut your mouth, baby, stand and deliver

Holy hands, will they make me a sinner?

Like a river, like a river

So shut your mouth and run me like a river

Choke this love 'til the veins start to shiver

One last breath 'til the tears start to wither

Like a river, like a river

So shut your mouth and you run me like a river

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't say, don't you say it

Don't say, don't you say it

One breath, it'll just break it

So shut your mouth and run me like a river

[Chorus]

Shut your mouth, baby, stand and deliver

Holy hands, will they make me a sinner?

Like a river, like a river

So shut your mouth and run me like a river

Choke this love 'til the veins start to shiver

One last breath 'til the tears start to wither

Like a river, like a river

So shut your dirty mouth and you run me like a river
