Never took your side,
Never cursed your name
I keep my lips shut tight
Until you go oh oh oh
We've come as far
As we're ever gonna get
Until you realize,
That you should go

I'm in misery where you can seem as old as your omens
And the mother we share will never keep your proud head from falling
The way is long but you can make it easy on me
And the mother we share will never keep our cold hearts from calling

In the dead of night
I'm the only one here
And I will cover you
Until you go oh oh oh
And if I told the truth,
I will always be free
And keep a prize with me
Until you go oh oh oh

I'm in misery where you can seem as old as your omens
And the mother we share will never keep your proud head from falling
The way is long but you can make it easy on me
And the mother we share will never keep our cold hearts from calling

Until the night falls,
We're the only ones left
I bet you even know,
Where we could go oh oh oh
And when it all fucks up,
You put your head in my hands
It's a souvenir
For when you go-o-oh

I'm in misery where you can seem as old as your omens
And the mother we share will never keep your proud head from falling
The way is long but you can make it easy on me
And the mother we share will never keep our cold hearts from calling
