St. Cecilia lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dodging spit on the sidewalk
I forget how I could talk
Back to the dog that pursues me

[Verse 2]
I remember my hometown
And this new one's a letdown
When I think of how I used to be

[Pre-Chorus]
I used to be kind
I used to be kind

[Chorus]
Oh, St. Cecilia
I know you’re singing your best song
But these melodies and ecstasies
Can only keep me going for so long

[Verse 3]
Too much bite in these teeth
Too much strength in this jaw
I spat a mouthful of words
I regret now
[Pre-Chorus]
I used to be kind
I used to be kind

[Chorus]
Oh, St. Cecilia
I know you're singing your best song
But these melodies and ecstasies
Can only keep me going for so long

[Bridge]
I used to be kind
I used to be true
I used to be kind
I used to be good

[Outro]
Oh, St. Cecilia
I know you're singing your best song
But these melodies and ecstasies
Can only keep me going for so long
