Millstone

I used to be such a burning example
I used to be so original
I used to care, I was being cared for
Made sure I showed it to those that I love
I used to sleep without a single stir
'Cause I was about my Father's work

Well, take me out tonight (Oh)
The ship of fools I'm on will sink
A millstone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give

I used to pray like God was listening
I used to make my parents proud
I was the glue that kept my friends together
Now they don't talk and we don't go out
I used to know the name of every person I kissed.
Now I made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it

Well, take me out tonight (Oh)
The ship of fools I'm on will sink
A millstone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give

Well, throw me that lifeline
The ship of fools I'm on will sink
A millstone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give

"They never hit the brakes
There was no time to see
He just ran out in the street
Does anybody know his name?
I think I recognize him..."
(Sure it's him?)
"He sure as hell paid for that mistake..."
Whoa, whoa, whoa

(Whoa) So take me out tonight
The ship of fools I'm on will sink
A millstone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give

Well, save my life tonight
The ship of fools I'm on will sink
I'm my own stone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
