I only excel at something when the stakes are higher
Than walking in a circle of fire
And I could give you everything that I have
It's still not what you require
The truth is, I wouldn't want anybody to stay with me
'Cause even before I eventually leave
There would be nothing for me to give them
And the truth is that one day I might marry you
'Cause it's easy spending time with you
But all of my vices you won't forgive them
And I drank from the holy cup
Thinking it would cheer me up
But all I got was a cross to carry
I thought that it would make me sick
And it didn't but holy shit
This cannot be the person anybody wants to marry
I'll give you what you're looking for if you let me drown
With all of my friends downtown
And I could give you everything that I have
I'd still turn out a great letdown
The truth is, I wouldn't want anybody to stay with me
'Cause even before I eventually leave
There would be nothing for me to give them
And the truth is that one day I might marry you
'Cause it's easy spending time with you
But all of my vices you won't forgive them
And I drank from the holy cup
Thinking it would cheer me up
But all I got was a cross to carry
I thought that it would make me sick
And it didn't but holy shit
This cannot be the person anybody wants to marry
And I lied to keep Jesus closer
Now I'm twenty six and without a lover
All I got was a cross to carry
I thought that it would make me sick
And it didn't but holy shit
This cannot be the person anybody wants to marry
And I drank from the holy cup
Thinking it would cheer me up
But all I got was a cross to carry
I thought that it would make me sick
And it didn't but holy shit
This cannot be the person anybody wants to marry
And I lied to keep Jesus closer
Now I'm twenty six and without a lover
All I got was a cross to carry
And I thought that it would make me sick
And it didn't but holy shit
This cannot be the person anybody wants to marry
