Look what you started
I seem to be coming right out of my skin
So look what you've forgotten here
These bandages just don't keep me in
Pre Chorus:
Baby when it was over
Well I woke up alone
And when it was over, yeah
I woke up alone
Well they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive
I got your name tattooed on the inside of my arm
And I called for my father but my father had died
While you told me fortunes
In American slang
And looked at the damage
When the fortunes came for the richer men
And we left with gallows
Honey waiting for us liars baby, come down and hang
Pre Chorus:
Baby when it was over, yeah yeah
Well I woke up alone
And when it was over
I woke up alone
Well they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive
I got your name tattooed on the inside of my arm
And I called for my father but my father has died
And you told me fortunes
In American slang
And here's where we died that time last year
And where the angels and devils meet
And you can dance with the queen if you need
And she will always keep your cards close to her heart
So close to her heart, before they tear you apart
And they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive
I got your name tattooed on the inside of my arm
And I called for my father but my father has died
I called for my father but my father has died
And you told me fortunes
In American slang
And you told my fortunes
In American slang
