I've been afraid to let the secret out
But now those frozen words are burning in my mouth
With every breath my resolution slips
And I can't stop the smoke from rising to my lips
But, oh, oh, I think you already know
Oh, oh, yeah, that I've been down
So far, so low
But I gave up the ghost when I was 21
Traded my nerves for steel, my sweetness for a gun
Guess that explains why all the good boys run
And why you tell me that I just can't be the one
'Cause, oh, oh, I am the rock to your roll
Oh, oh, yeah, I bring you down
So far, so low
Oh, oh, I am the rock to your roll
Oh, oh, yeah
I never thought I'd be alone and be so old
I wrap my arms around you, but you feel so cold
Yeah, why do you have to bring me down, baby,
So far, yeah, so low...
'Cause I have a heart that's paper thin
It blows and it sways with the wind
So please, please, please, be easy on me
Until I get a thicker skin
Say you will, oh, say you will
And I cannot stop what I begin
And I carry this torch for you, still unabated
So please, please, please, just hold me when it's dim
And pretend you haven't hesitated
Say you will, oh, say you will
And I wear this heart like a tattoo
Over my heart, the scar's been frozen
So please, please, please, just smile when you lie to me
'Cause I take some sugar with my poison
Say you will, oh, say you will
