Millstone

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

Whoa

The ship of fools I'm on will sink

I'm my own stone around my neck

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

I used to pray like 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've made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it

Well, take me out tonight

Whoa

The ship of fools I'm on will sink

I'm my own stone around my neck

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

Well, throw me that lifeline

Whoa

The ship of fools I'm on will sink

I'm my own stone around my neck

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

They never hit their brakes

There was no time to see

He just ran out in the street

"Does anybody know his name?"

"I think I recognize him"

Sure as hell paid for that mistake

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Well, take me out tonight

Whoa

The ship of fools I'm on will sink

I'm my own stone around my neck

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

Well, save my life tonight

Whoa

The ship of fools I'm on will sink

I'm my own stone around my neck

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