you should get out now cos honey i ain't safe
i'm a tickin time bomb gonna go off in yr face
you should put yr shoes on and walk right out the door
before yr coughin below the smoke, crawlin on all fours
all i'm gonna do is ruin yr life
the way that you did mine

but you could still be fine if you leave right now
trust me you don't wanna stick around
see how this turns out
cos the ending won't be pretty, no,
the loose ends won't get tied
it's just me and all my problems
all blown open wide

all i'm gonna do is turn yr heart into
a lead weight like i've got

you should buy a plot
and throw in these memories
and heap red, red dirt over the bodies
and hope that no beautiful zombies come up from the ground

i'll just lay on down and sleep right where i lie
tell this whole damn town you saw my spirit hit the sky
in concert with the birds and how they flap their wings so hard
forget all the words i wrote and bury em in the backyard

all i'm gonna do is turn into what you prayed i'd never be

it's too late for me
we're in a burning house together
and both my legs are broken
but yrs are still good
and you still could make it out
this is your once chance, honey,
so take it for all yr worth
