They found you in a bar hopeless and sincere
And told you everything they thought you'd wanna hear
They looked in your eyes and filched every prize

But I know that something remains

They hung you in a tree for everyone to beat
Split you down the side spilt you on the street
They grabbed what they could and left with the goods

But I know that something remains

I believe in you
Though you're black and blue
Though you can barely breathe

Hanging out to dry
Stripped and brutalized
I'll kiss the blood that you bleed

They hung you in a tree and left you all alone
Filled their greedy hands and then they all went home
They made you a joke and laughed when you broke

But I know that something remains
