Keep your old and wasted words
My heart is breaking like you heard
But the town has always turned

These lies and made them all burn
Keep your old and wasted words
My heart is breaking like you heard
But the town has always turned

These lies and made them all burn
Can you feel the leeches bite
That boy that she took out tonight

He's brave and walking sure
Through all the spots you're working for
When the light is out and words have gone
Let me be the one to try it on
