Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bite the thorn that pierces the skin
Come back down to Earth again
The cold is creeping deep inside (Inside)
You disconnect the telephone line (Line)
[Verse 2]
Gotta get away, gotta get away, get away
Gotta get away 'fore the Lord gonna make me stay
All that I know
Should've been, could've been mine
[Verse 3]
I killed the last way out of this
Persuaded by a deceitful kiss
Said you better stay, said you better stay
Better stay, said you better stay before it's all gone, gone away
[Verse 4]
All I know
Should've been, could've been mine
And for all I know
Should've been, could've been mine
[Verse 5]
Bite the thorn that pierces the skin
Come back down to Earth again
The cold is creeping deep inside (Inside)
You disconnect the telephone line (Line)
[Verse 6]
Gotta get away, gotta get away, get away
Gotta get away 'fore I lose my mind
Said you better stay, said you better stay
Better stay, said you better stay before it's all gone, gone away
[Verse 7]
All I know
Should've been, could've been mine
And for all that I know
Should've been, could've been mine
[Verse 8]
And for all that I know
Should've been, could've been mine
And for all that I know
Should've been, could've been mine
[Verse 9]
All that I know
Should've been, could've been mine (For all I know)
All I know (For all I know, for all I know)
Should've been, could've been mine
[Verse 10]
All I know
Should've been, could've been mine
All I know
