Superseded

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 (Falling to, 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Superseded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 (Falling to, fall into sleep)

(Falling into you, crawling back to you)

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Superseded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 (Falling to, 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Superseded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)
