Can’t Stop the Killer

[Verse 1]

You'll raise the daughter and she'll raise the son

You'll live like two people that wish they were one

She may not be perfect but oh, my friend, neither are you

[Verse 2]

You feel like you're waiting for somebody to

Remind you of all the things that you're supposed to do

Careful what you reach for, one more step and you're falling through

[Verse 3]

Your family's a joke and your job is your life

The time spent without them is time spent most every night

Get your house in order, cause it's gonna be a bumpy ride

[Pre-Chorus]

(You can't stop. You can't stop the killer.)

(You can't stop. You can't stop the killer.)

[Bridge]

I work my hands right down to the bone

Still you don't give me what I want

You are so ungrateful

We're more like a house than a home, oh

Please, dear, understand

I'm sorry again for all that I said

And how could you leave?

I swear that I'll be a better man

So go ahead and run, run

Run from the man with the gun in his hand

Darling, I would shoot you

Before I would ever let you leave

Oh, dear God

[Chorus]

In a certain place I've kept my outs

One for us both, two for my doubts

I'm shaking. I'm hollow because

I know how to get this done

So I will be the only one to follow

To follow through with

A certain place I've kept my outs

One for us both, two for my doubts

I'm shaking. I'm hollow because

I know how to get this done

So I will be the only one to follow

To follow through with this

[Outro]

You kneel beside her at the foot of the grave

Your daughter is crying and you say she's in a better place

She was never perfect. Oh, my friend, neither were you
