You gave me a reason to stay here
Gave me a reason to go
You gave me a reason to eat up
Gave me a reason to choke
Went to bed with the bottle
Stayed up all night with your lust
Woke up today with a reason
It sure as hell ain't your trust
Now you're sore from all your scrubbing
But it won't wash off
Tore right into the surface
But it won't wash off
Decorate or decompose
You can't change what's inside
And it'll come up to the surface
When you most want it to hide
I'm gonna be the man who throws you in jail
Shoplifting love outta my garage sale
Used and worn through just the way that you need
It locks you up each time you swallow my key
Tightened up my jaw now
A man must never cry
This morning we were screaming
Heavy breathing feels like a lie
Now it feels so empty leaving
'Cause I don't know that I must
There's love upon your surface
Underneath I doubt there's trust
You gave me a reason for living
Gave me a reason to die
You gave me a reason to give in
Dangled a reason to try
Told me to speak my peace
So you could go and speak yours
Now we got so much peace
We done started a war
