You gave me something that I didn't expect You showed your hand and now it's time to get wrecked The sidewalk cracks your head so gently Lay it down to rest You gave me something that I couldn't believe The words that came so honestly There's blood on your lips and you still can't see The ambulance shine so beautifully Lay it down I'll say goodbye in the morning Lay it down And you'll be sorry that you spoke It's too hard to be true Too late for raising hopes He showed you something that you never needed He just wanted you to see him bleeding Turn your eyes from such a sight Never look again You're back in town at such an early hour You see his wife behind the counter Listen as she lets you know Swallow as she chokes And the colors look so beautiful As you stare up from the ground You hear the feet of the pa**erby And vomit from the sound I take a look at what you instigated A couple thousand miles later My seat back's up I'm coming down I lay it all to rest
