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,

The ship of fools I'm on will sink.

millstone around my neck,

Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

I used to pray a 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.

Take me out tonight,

The ship of fools I'm on will sink.

millstone around my neck,

Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

Throw me that lifeline,

The ship of fools I'm on will sink.

millstone around my neck.

Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

Never hit the brakes.

There's no time to save him,

 [bad word] out in the street.

Anybody know his name?

I think I recognize him.

(Sure it's him?)

He's made from our mistakes.

Woah.

Woah.

So take me out tonight.

The ship of fools I'm on will sink.

millstone around my neck.

Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

To save my life tonight.

The ship of fools I'm on will sink.

millstone around my neck.

Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.
