lyrics

i don't want but i don't mind
if i don't see you around then i'll see you behind
it's a hard walk down to the killing floor
and i don't think i can do it anymore
a year ago this very night
you said you loved me and i said all right
but what exactly does that mean to you
and what exactly will i have to do

for you
for you

my neck on your bed like the chopping block
you asked permission but i couldn't talk
i wouldn't say that it isn't nice
but some things demand a sacrifice
the crown of my head is soaked with sweat
don't ask me anything you'll regret
you remind me of an old photograph
i didn't mean to make you laugh
in the dawning hours, in the glowing light
next to you, paralyzed with fright
and with desire and limbs gone slack
and if i leave now, i'm not coming back
it's not enough to say i'll stay
to buy a memory, you have to pay
when the sun crests your window you start to sing
i decided i'd give everything

for you
for you
