Lyrics

Chainsaw

Everyone loves you but they don't love you like I do

And everyone knows you but they ain't seen this side of you

I'm over the measure, one shot turns into four

And I end up injured as love turns into war

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

When I get over you and get the dirt off my shoulder

Will I look like a fool or just a whole lot older?

Givin' myself to you is like givin' myself to a chainsaw

You keep cuttin' me open

Why is it the only thing that you're good for?

Givin' myself to you is like givin' myself to a chainsaw

You keep cuttin' me open

Why is it the only thing that you're good for?

I can't remember how we started this thing

But I know I was better before you pulled the string

Somethin' to mention before you kill me

So I won't be the last one, the last one that's for sure

And oh, oh, oh, oh

The last one, oh, oh no

When I get over you and get the dirt off my shoulder

Will I look like a fool or just a whole lot older?

Givin' myself to you is like givin' myself to a chainsaw

You keep cuttin' me open

Why is it the only thing that you're good for?

Givin' myself to you is like givin' myself to a chainsaw

You keep cuttin' me open

Why is it the only thing that you're good for?

What you gonna do when you've had enough?

What you gonna say when it's all to late?

What you gonna do when you fall in love?

How you gonna feel when it hurts the same?

What you gonna do when you've had enough?

What you gonna say when it's all to late?

Staring at the things that you broke apart

And you know you can't put 'em back again

Givin' myself to you is like givin' myself to a chainsaw

You keep cuttin' me open

Why is it the only thing that you're good for?

Givin' myself to you is like givin' myself to a chainsaw

You keep cuttin' me open

Why is it the only thing that you're good for?

Givin' myself to you is like I'm givin' myself to a chainsaw

Givin' myself to you is like I'm givin' myself to a chainsaw

Givin' myself to you is like I'm givin' myself to a chainsaw

Givin' myself to you is like I'm givin' myself to a chainsaw

Givin' myself to you is like I'm givin' myself to a chainsaw

Givin' myself to you is like I'm givin' myself to a chainsaw

Givin' myself to you is like I'm givin' myself to a chainsaw

Givin' myself to you is like I'm givin' myself to a chainsaw

Givin' myself to you
