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
