I used to be such a burning example,
I used to be so original.
I used to care, I was being cared for.
Made sure I showed it to those that I love.
I used to sleep without a single stir,
'Cause I was about my Father's work.

Well, take me out tonight.
The ship of fools I'm on will sink.
My own stone around my neck,
Be my breath -there's nothing I wouldn't give.

I used to pray a God was listening.
I used to make my parents proud.
I was the glue that kept my friends together;
Now they don't talk and we don't go out.

I used to know the name of every person I kissed.
Now I've made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it.

Take me out tonight,
The ship of fools I'm on will sink.
A milestone around my neck,
Be my breath -there's nothing I wouldn't give.

Throw me that lifeline,
The ship of fools I'm on will sink.
My own stone around my neck
Be my breath -there's nothing I wouldn't give.

Never hit the brakes
There's no time to save him,
He's run out in the street
Anybody know his name?
I think I recognize him
(Sure it's him?)
He's made from our mistakes...

...there's nothing I wouldn't give
To save my life tonight.
The ship of fools I'm on will sink
My own stone around my neck
Be my breath -there's nothing I wouldn't give.
