VamViper - So I ran with the wicked... Lyrics

I changed
Just for you
Had a civil conversation
With the ghosts that haunt my room
When you're not here
To take away my fear
And wear it like a cardigan
Longing for my arms again

I wish that I could give you everything that you deserve
There was a candle on my soul that ran out of wick to burn

And so I ran with the wicked and the wicked ran with thieves
And when I stole your heart just to hawk it on the street
They congratulated me
And so I gambled my soul to win it back
And now you know
I'll sew it back upon your sleeve
Just like that
So pristine
Like it never even left
Like I never even left
Not even for a second
Not even for a minute

Not even for a second
Not even for a minute

You changed
Tainted gold
You fought off all my demons
And the secrets that I sold
When my skylines rained
And ushered in a dark age
You wore it like an armor
Made me your badge of honor

I wished for you secretly under the wishing well
I caught your coin the second you thought you were by yourself

And so I ran with the wicked and the wicked ran with thieves
And when I stole your heart just to hawk it on the street
They congratulated me
And so I gambled my soul to win it back
And now you know
I'll sew it back upon your sleeve
Just like that
So pristine
Like it never even left
Like I never even left
Not even for a second
Not even for a minute

Not even for a second
Not even for a minute

As I fell from your good graces
And into card shark games
They called out my name
I went all in with my body and soul
They said it wasn't enough and my blood ran cold
I had one more trick up my snakeskin sleeve
So I tossed down the coin
That you gave to me
Unknowingly
Now I run free

And so I ran to redemption
And redemption ran to me
And I stole your heart to sew it back upon your sleeve
Like it never even left
Like I never even left
Not even for a second
Not even for a minute

Not even for a second
Not even for a minute
