Millstone lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to be such a burning example
I used to be so original
I used to care, I was being cared for
Made sure I showed it to those that I love
I used to sleep without a single stir
'Cause I was about my father's work

[Chorus]
Well, take me out tonight (Whoa)
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
A millstone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give

[Verse 2]
I used to pray like God was listening
I used to make my parents proud
I was the glue that kept my friends together
Now they don't talk and we don't go out
I used to know the name of every person I'd kissed
Now I've made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it

[Chorus]
Well, take me out tonight (Whoa)
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
I'm my own stone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
Well, throw me that lifeline
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
A millstone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
[Bridge]
They never hit their brakes
There's no time to see
He just ran out in the street
"Does anybody know his name?"
"I think I recognize him"
He sure as hell paid for that mistake
Whoa, whoa

[Chorus]
Well, take me out tonight (Whoa)
(I used to be such a burning example)
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
(I used to be so original)
A millstone around my neck (Whoa)
(I used to care, I was being cared for)
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
(Made sure I showed it to those that I love)
Well, save my life tonight (Whoa)
(I used to pray like God was listening)
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
(I used to make my parents proud)
A millstone around my neck (Whoa)
(I was the glue that kept my friends together)
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give
(Now they don't talk and we don't go out)
