lyrics

this is all it takes
i'm gonna leave, i'm gonna leave you all over again
we're gonna dance on the vex of a fallen pin
you couldn't know me just yet

so long my everything
i'm gonna sink in the sands of another sin
i'm gonna drink away the state of mind i kept you in
i don't need anyone

i would do anything
baby, i swear
i would do anything
take my breath
i would do anything
but you're begging for a bloody part two

you could you be obvious, please?
how about a sign or two that i can read?
if i've gotta say it i will, sugar, pretty-please
i won't miss it again

don't it feel tedious?
don't it feel like i was lying?
well, i wasn't yet
whatever else i have told you,
i suppose i did
but don't it make you feel nice?

but baby if you end up alone
that's how you know that you did it all wrong
well, don't you cry
that's for all you left behind

(chorus)

you've got to take it all
i ain't first, i ain't the first to go down like this
to stand in line hoping for one more kiss
always the last to know

the verge of brilliance
i took a shot in the dark, it blew me straight to hell
i hitched a ride with the devil and all his friends
we're taking heaven tonight (we're taking in pills and powder and...)

baby, if you end up alone
that's how you know that you did it all wrong
we'll don't you cry
come on and live it like a lie

(chorus)
