Lyrics

Sinners sin and leave their debris
Seems like you've woken up the dark side of me
To think I once held you up on a throne
But now you're just the dirt that I'm stepping on
It's not the way that it used to be
With everything that you stole from me
So tell me now, was it worth it?
'Cause I don't belong here, no, I don't deserve this
I might not be the best, but I do what I can
And I'd like to think I'm a half-decent man
I've made my mistakes and I pray every night
That I don't meet that devil again when I die
But I hope you know
I'd never hate you or curse you to stone
You took my heart, my life, and my soul
Now leave me alone
Through the tragedy of it all I have found
There's a pain even a drink never drowns
Perhaps it wouldn't be all that bad
If I lived in a house made of iron instead of this glass
It's not the way that it used to be
With everything that you stole from me
I might not be the best, but I do what I can
And I'd like to think I'm a half-decent man
I've made my mistakes and I pray every night
That I don't meet that devil again when I die
But I hope you know
I'd never hate you or curse you to stone
You took my heart, my life, and my soul
So leave me alone
Just leave me alone
No, it's not the way that it used to be
With everything that you stole from me
Tell me now, was it worth it?
'Cause I don't belong here, no, I don't deserve this
I might not be the best, but I do what I can
And maybe I'm not such a half-decent man
I've made my mistakes, now I pray every night
That I might meet that devil again when I die
But I hope that you know
I'd never hate you or curse you to stone
You took my heart, my life, and my soul
So leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
