  • "I'm here for you" she said
    "And we can stay for awhile
    My boyfriend's gone
    We can just pretend"
    Lips that need no introduction
    Now who's the greater sin
    Your drab eyes seem to invite
    (Tell me darling) where do we begin?

    Was this over before
    Before it ever began
    Your kiss
    Your calls
    Your crutch
    Like the devil's got your hand
    This was over before
    Before it ever began
    Your lips
    Your lies
    Your lust
    Like the devil's in your hands

    Everyone in this town
    Is seeing somebody else
    Everybody's tired of someone
    Our eyes wander for help
    Prayers that need no answer now
    I'm tired of who I am
    You were my greatest mistake
    I fell in love with your sin
    Your littlest sin

    Was this over before
    Before it ever began
    Your kiss
    Your calls
    Your crutch
    Like the devil's got your hand
    This was over before
    Before it ever began
    Your lips
    Your lies
    Your lust
    Like the devil's in your hands

    Failure is your disease
    You want my outline drawn
    You are my greatest failure
    Discourse your saving song

    Was this over before
    Before it ever began
    Your kiss
    Your calls
    Your crutch
    Like the devil's got your hand
    This was over before
    Before it ever began
    Your lips
    Your lies
    Your lust
    Like the devil's in your hands

    Was this over before
    Before it ever began
    Your kiss
    Your calls
    Your crutch
    Like the devil's got your hand
    This was over before
    Before it ever began
    Your lips
    Your lies
    Your lust
    Like the devil's in your hands Writer/s: Deon Rexroat, Joseph Milligan, Nathan Young, Stephen Arnold

  • J TitorSounds like it's about hiding an addiction problem from a loved one. I've been down that road and lost everything. You can say I was cheating and in the end, it was either the pain killers or my fiancee and son. I got help, but it came at a heavy cost (personally).
