The Gutter

Over my dead body
The stars will let you know, it's over
Now if I had my way
I would leave you here to waste your final days
Buried beneath
(With the possibility of how things could be)

Oh, please rest assured this was not my fault
And time is getting short
So I'll be here if you want me
(Beaten and covered in a red so bloody)
Oh, my darling, can you hear?
My words so pure, they burn your lying ears

And so the story goes
When I leave will you let me go?
When the words stop coming
And the fear starts setting in slow
Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
It's your last chance, honey, better
Call your mother
All our hope is lost down in the gutter

When you're in your bed
Sleeping toward the void
So deep, it feels like death
Oh, don't you (wake, wake)
Oh, my love, I hear
Life holds nothing for us beyond our time in here
Oh, don't you dare turn your back on me
(No use running when the bad guy's coming)

Oh, I think you've got me pegged as the wrong man
Oh, I think you've got me pegged

And so the story goes
When I leave will you let me go?
When the words stop coming
And the fear starts setting in slow
Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
It's your last chance, honey, better
Call your mother
All our hope is lost down in the gutter

We were better together I know that much
Oh, can't you see?
Through the bad and the good we had all the luck
The devil's got nothing on us, you and me
Oh, baby, over my dead body
Oh, baby, over my dead body
Oh, baby, over my dead body

We're still counting on you
We'll keep counting on you
Mother, come on out
Show me what the world is all about
And we'll keep counting on you
Mother, come on out
Show me what the world is all about

And we'll keep fighting for you
We'll keep fighting for you
We'll keep fighting for you
We'll keep (we'll keep fighting)

Oh, I think you've got me pegged as the wrong man
Oh, I think you've got me pegged

And so the story goes
When I leave will you let me go?
When the words stop coming
And the fear starts setting in slow
Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
It's your last chance, honey, better
Call your mother
All hope is lost down in the gutter
