fell out of the house and into your hands
diamond promise of the promised land
I took it on faith, I was too young to wait
I was just trying to keep myself warm
went looking for fire, found a summer storm
it blew me down south, knocked the words from my mouth
I don't know where I'm going but I know that I can't stay
seven years is more than long enough
to try and look the other way
I'd rather be broken-hearted than broken down with you
you call me a fool for leaving,
better than a fool for loving you
we built a little house of stone and lies
just 'cause it's not what I hoped for
don't mean it's a big surprise
watch you set 'em on up, drink your words from the cup
I don't know where I'm going but I know that I can't stay
seven years is more than long enough
to try and look the other way
I'd rather be broken-hearted than broken down with you
you call me a fool for leaving,
better than a fool for loving you
every answer has a question,
somewhere down there in that well
throw your pennies in the fountain,
buy your ticket out of hell
every answer has a question,
somewhere down there in that well
throw your pennies in the fountain,
buy your ticket out of...
I don't know where I'm going but I know that I can't stay
seven years is more than long enough
to try and look the other way
I'd rather be broken-hearted than broken down with you
you call me a fool for leaving,
better than a fool for loving you
