disappear from your hometown

go and find the people that you know

show them all your good parts

leave town when the bad ones start to show

go and wed a woman

a pretty girl that you've never met

make sure she knows you love her well

but don't make any other promises.

the weight of lies will bring you down

and follow you to every town

cause nothing happens here that doesn't happen there

so when you run make sure you run 

to something and not away from

cause lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere.

i once heard the worse thing 

a man could do is draw a hungry crowd 

tell everyone his name, pride and confidence

but leaving out his doubt

i'm not sure i bought those words

when i was young i knew most everything

these words have never meant so much to anyone

as they now mean to me.

never let a woman go even when you know she can always be replaced

she can always be replaced

lust only grows like anger and revenge or beauty comes and goes but love

stays until the end

i wrote you a song mississippi isabel

i even sent you flowers when you felt ill

you've the strength of the greeks

you are god's masterpiece

you are every triumph, every victory

i believe in every breath you breathe

and i always imagined you'd be by my side

whether i'm hiding in the city or tearing through the wild

you're only an older noose on my throat

if your beauty is a fortress then my love will be the boat

fall in love with her. fall in love with you i must.

i'll consume every part of you to indulge my love lust.

never let a woman go even when you know she can be replaced

she can always be replaced

lust only grows like anger and revenge, or beauty comes and goes but love

stays until the end

never let a woman go even when you know

whether a flower in my hand or a gun in my hand,

i'd give it all up for your hand in my hand

for the sun on my skin as the morning begins,

i'd die in the dark just to feel your skin on my skin

never let a woman go even when you know

your soul

your love

your blood

treasure every beating heart that sets your soul on fire.

love will set your soul on fire.

i don't know how you convince them and get them, but

i don't know what you do, its unbelievable

and i don't know how you get over, get over

someone as dangerous, tainted and flawed as you

one fore the money, and two for the show

i love you honey, i'm ready, i'm ready to go

how did you get that way? i don't know

you're screwed up and brilliant,

look like a million dollar man,

so why is my heart broke?

you got the world but baby at what price?

something so strange i can't define

it isn't that hard boy to like you or love you

i'd follow you down, down, down

you're unbelievable 

if you're going crazy just grab me and take me

i'd follow you down, down, down, anywhere, anywhere

one fore the money, and two for the show

i love you honey, i'm ready, i'm ready to go

how did you get that way? i don't know

you're screwed up and brilliant,

look like a million dollar man,

so why is my heart broke?

All my friends tell me I should move on

I'm lying in the ocean, singing your song

Ahhh, that's how you sang it

Loving you forever, can't be wrong

Even though you're not here, won't move on
Ahhh, that's how we played it

And there's no remedy for memory your face is

Like a melody, it won't leave my head

Your soul is haunting me and telling me

That everything is fine
But I wish I was dead

Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise

No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side

All my friends ask me why I stay strong

Tell 'em when you find true love it lives on 

Ahhh, that's why I stay here

i set all my regrets on fire

cause i know i'll never take the time

to unpack my missteps and call all of your friends

i figure they would take your side

i was out on the town

so i came to your window last night

i tried not to throw stones

but i wanted to come inside

i will love you till the end of time

i would wait a million years

promise you'll remember that your mine

baby can you see through the tears

love you more

 than those bitches before

say you'll remember, baby, say you'll remember

i will love you 'til the end of time

there's nothing i could say

to make you try to feel ok

and nothing you could do

to stop me feeling the way i do
