By the time I saw the writing
I was halfway in the tank
Watching as your Bentley 
Headed to the bank
But you never got there did you
Somewhere you got lost
Living like a vampire 
Comes at quite a cost
Where are you now
Where is your swag
Dealing with all this
Has been such a drag
There ain't no love like a phony love
There ain't no lie like a holy lie
We're only as strong as our weakest link
When we're stranded here together
Stranded here together on the brink

In case you didn't notice
It case it wasn't clear
You have never touched
A thing that I hold dear
Now my life's a movie
On every blazing screen
Your life is a footnote
No one's ever seen
The ugly truth is still the truth
Sometimes it's what we need 
Just to make it through
There ain't no love like a phony love
There ain't no lie like a holy lie
We're only as strong as our weakest link
When we're stranded here together
Stranded here together on the brink

When the kingdom starts to crumble
The prophets take it hard
They move their tent revival
Into you front yard
At first I didn't notice
How much they target me
When a stranger says they love you
That love is never free
Where are you now
Where is your swag
Dealing with all this
Has been such a drag
There ain't no love like a phony love
There ain't no lie like a holy lie
We're only as strong as our weakest link
When we're stranded here together
Stranded here together
There ain't no love like a phony love
There ain't no lie like a holy lie
We're only as strong as our weakest link
When we're stranded here together
Stranded here together on the brink
