all you wanted was something to believe in
but all you got was a poisoned well
all this time spent making agreements
with the government of a ghost town
all i had was a fire burning through me
i should have known that it wasn’t enough
put away all your expectations
this is gonna take awhile
and it’s over before it starts
start all over the broken parts
calm and sober you up
holding you up by a broken thread
you shed your history like a snake sheds his skin
i’ll be your lookout while you steal their hearts
it ain’t a mystery you don’t know where to begin
but you ain’t leaving without your getaway car
and it’s over before it starts
start all over the broken parts
calm and sober you up
holding you up by a broken thread
all you wanted was something to believe in
but all you got was a con and a fraud and a fake
you gotta pay more attention to detail
at this point we can’t afford to make a mistake
it’s not over it never was
starting over takes a lot
oh and it hurts yeah but it’s worth it
holding on by a broken thread
and it’s over before it starts
start all over the broken parts
calm and sober you up
holding you up by a broken thread
