I comb the crowd and pick you out
My mouth moves too fast for you to figure it out
It starts eyes closed to fingers crossed,
"To I swear, I say"
"To I swear, I say"
To hands between legs, to "whatever it takes,"
To drinks at the club to the bar,
To the keys to your car,
To the hotel stairs to the emergency exit door

To the love, I left my conscience pressed,
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer
"What did it ever do for me?" I say
It never calls me when I'm down
Love never wanted me,
But I took it anyway
Put your ear to the speaker,
And choose love or sympathy,
But never both
Love never wanted me

"I hoped you choked,
Or crashed your car"
Hey "tear catcher", that's all that you are,
Every word,
From the start
I swear, I say (I swear, I say)

To hands between legs, to "whatever it takes,"
To drinks at the club, to the bar,
To the keys to your car,
To hotel stares/stairs, to the emergency exit door

To the love, I left my conscience pressed,
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer
"What did it ever do for me?" I say
It never calls me when I'm down
Love never wanted me,
But I took it anyway
Put your ear to the speaker,
And choose love or sympathy,
But never both

To the "love" I left my conscience pressed
Through the keyhole I watched you dress,
Kiss and tell
Loose lips sink ships

To the "love" I left my conscience pressed
Through the keyhole I watched you dress,
Kiss and tell
Loose lips sink ships

To the "love" I left my conscience pressed
Through the keyhole I watched you dress,
Kiss and tell
Loose lips sink ships

To the "love" I left my conscience pressed
To the "love" I left my conscience pressed
To the "love" I left my conscience pressed,
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer
"What did it ever do for me?" I say
