Album: Telegraph (2005)

License This Song 

• She stares at the moon
  Her ribbons out of tune
  Memories of the past
  At the bottom of her glass
  And resting on her cheek
  The imprint of his ring
  A symbol of the weak
  Commissioned by the king
  Did he tie you down?
  Did you make a sound?
  
  [Chorus]
  She falls to her knees
  Screaming God please
  Make something of me
  Cause I never wanted anything like what I wanna be right now
  An angel again
  An angel again somehow
  
  She remembers his old boots
  And the shotgun that he shoots
  And all she could take
  Lies at the bottom of a lake
  So lift your cig and drag
  As you figure out a plan
  To hide it all away
  How could she ever love this man
  Did you weigh him down?
  Did he make a sound?
  
  [Chorus]
  
  And when you carry weight in your life (life)
  And all the plans you make in your life (life)
  The original decision was right
  
  [Chorus]
  
  Did he tie you down?
  Did you make a sound?
  Did he weigh you down?
  Did he make a sound?
