spoken:

god is telling you and i there is death, for all of us
but then we find that the scriptures also tell us that we have a great promise, that there is a better place for those who believe in the lord jesus christ

v1:

in your basement, i grow cold
thinking back to what i was always told
don’t talk to strangers or you might fall in love
freezer bride, your sweet divine
you devour like smoked bovine hide
how funny, i never considered myself tough

pre-chorus:

you’re so handsome, walking over to me now

chorus:

i tried to be good
am i no good
am i no good
am i no good
with my memory restricted to a polaroid in evidence
i just wanted to be yours
can i be yours
can i be yours
just tell me i’m yours
if i’m turning in your stomach and i’m making you feel sick

v2:

when my mother sees me on the side
of a milk carton in winn-dixie’s dairy aisle
she’ll cry and wait up for me
we’ll make love in your attic all night
euphoric in some strange delight
i’m happier here cause he told me i should be

pre-chorus:

you’re so handsome when i’m all over your mouth

chorus:

i tried to be good
am i no good
am i no good
am i no good
with my memory restricted to a polaroid in evidence
i just wanted to be yours
can i be yours
can i be yours
just tell me i’m yours
if i’m turning in your stomach and i’m making you feel sick

bridge:

am i making you feel sick
am i making you feel, am i making you feel sick
am i making you feel, am i making you feel sick
am i making you feel sick
am i making you feel sick
am i making you feel sick

outtro:

found you just to tell you that i made it real far
and that i never blamed you for loving me the way that you did while you were torn apart
i would still wait with you there
don’t think about it too hard
or you’ll never sleep a wink at night again
don’t worry ‘bout me and these green eyes
mama, just know that i love you (i do)
and i’ll see you when you get here
