Hang on, just hang on for a minute I've got something to say I'm not asking you to move on or forget it But these are better days To be wrong all along and admit it Is not amazing grace But to be loved like a song you remember Even when you've changed Tell me, did I go on a tangent? Did I lie through my teeth? Did I cause you to stumble on your feet? Did I bring shame on my family? Did it show when I was weak? Whatever you see, that wasn't me That wasn't me, oh-oh, that wasn't me When you're lost you will toss every lucky coin you'll ever trust And you'll hide from your God like he ever turned his back on us And you'll fall all the way to the bottom and land on your own knife And you'll learn who you are, even if it doesn't take your life Tell me, did I go on a tangent? Did I lie through my teeth? Did I cause you to stumble on your feet? Did I bring shame on my family? Did it show when I was weak? Whatever you see, that wasn't me That wasn't me, oh-oh, that wasn't me But I want you to know that you'll never be alone I wanna believe Do I make myself a blessing to everyone I meet? When you fall I will catch you on your feet Do I spend time with my family? Did it show when I was weak? When that's what you see, that will be me That will be me That will be me That will be me

Hello birthday person, Your time has come again, This whole house is swinging like a monkey on a chain, And the champagne pops like rifle shots as evry one grows dim, We need a mirror to reflect upon this mess we're in, And we sing, Your happy day is here again x4 Well hello birthday person, I heard that you were thin, So I got you some religion to cuddle to your skin, And your body makes you nervous, About sagging mental health, If I was you I'd trade you in and find somebody else, And we sing Your happy day is here again x8 And this window looks out on the sea, And there's nothing between you and me, Well I see you're expecting to fly, Well you know the world won't catch you, So you'd better kiss your friends goodbye, Your happy day is here again x8 Your happy day is here again x11 We're going down x7

Chemicals are shifting Places that I lived in Disappear into the haze Too many years spent drifting Living for evening Too many nights not enough days How was I to know there's something else about you Couldn't live without you, even if I tried How was I to know that something in the ether Would make me a believer, of all the love inside Take my heart and testify To be here by my side Take my heart and testify To be here by my side To be here To be here To be here One more time I've been faking All these nights been drinking Lost without a reason why Now I'm no longer sick Something's got me drinking And in the moment you arrived How was I to know there's something else about you Couldn't live without you, even if I tried How was I to know that something in the ether Would make me a believer, of all the love inside Take my heart and testify To be here by my side Take my heart and testify To be here by my side To be here To be here To be here Maybe once in a lifetime You'll hold on to a lifeline Don't ever let go You were once in a lifetime You're the blood in my lifeline I won't ever let go Take my heart and testify To be here by my side Take my heart and testify To be here by my side Take my heart and testify To be here by my side Take my heart and testify To be here by my side
