Thick as Thieves

[Verse 1] Would it kill you to breathe easy? Only seventeen miles lay between you and me I could make it if I had to I don't break easily You got my council, thick as thieves If there's a crime, we'll keep it secret For there's only trace amounts left in your blood [Pre-Chorus] You may be a sinner But you may be justified [Chorus] Just keep your mouth shut Keep your guard up I swear I'll make it right [Verse 2] Will it kill me to breathe? Not as easy as you think It is between you and me I could fake it if I have to I don't break easily I need your council, thick as thieves I have no crime to keep a secret It was hers, it was not mine [Pre-Chorus] Well, I may be a sinner But it wasn't me this time [Chorus] Just keep your mouth shut Keep your guard up I swear I'll make it right [Bridge] Well, listen to yourself There is a hemorrhage in your mouth It won't stop bleedin' Well, you may be the trigger I will hold the smokin' gun, you'll get away clean I'll keep your secrets 'til the grave has swallowed me And I will never tell a tortured soul They are burning by my side That I am a sinner, I am a savior I am a lie [Chorus] So keep your mouth shut Keep your guard up I swear I'll make it right
