Caution: You are now annotating this song as
[Verse 1]
You and me created something special
You and me, always standing at the threshold
Forgive me, I've created a monster
The police said that they cannot help your daughter

[Chorus]
Sometimes it takes a man to hide
Sing it soft just like the lullaby
I'll fall apart from the inside out
And die

[Verse 2]
Kept my faith from the day that you left
With a big old hallelujah carved into my chest
You smothered me in images of death
Don't play around now, take my life instead

[Chorus]

[Outro]
I don't doubt that everything is what you gave me
But I've gotta be frank, and baby
It just wasn't enough
