Lyrics

Never Leave a Job Half Done

[Verse 1]

Blood stains on the carpet

Blood stains on my hands

Drag her toward the kitchen

Hide the evidence

[Chorus]

Oh the toil a lie can bring

That quitters never know

Lies can be the perfect things

If they never show

[Verse 2]

Crisis posed a question

Just beneath the skin

The virtue in my veins reply

Quitters never win

[Pre-Chorus]

She almost ruined everything

[Chorus]

Oh the toil a lie can bring

That quitters never know

Lies can be the perfect things

If they never show
