  • I was hangin' next to you by a thread from so high
    We were heaven and the moon in the center of my eye
    And now it shine on you
    And I would kiss your crown
    And then out of the blue, you would cut me down
    Cut me down

    But when you hung up the phone and you blocked my number
    I was alone in the rain and thunder
    I should have known when you sent me under
    I'm on my own and it made me wonder

    What do you do when a man don't love you?
    He takes the sun from the sky above you
    How do you fix the damage?
    How do you break the habit?
    I never knew you could be so savage
    So savage
    I never knew you could be so

    So just say it like you mean it
    Won't you scream it out like it's religion?
    You were the priest and the prophet
    You were my scripture, my conviction

    But when you hung up the phone and you blocked my number
    I was alone in the rain and thunder
    I should have known by the flame I'm under
    I'm on my own and it makes me wonder

    What do you do when a man don't love you?
    He takes the sun from the sky above you
    How do you fix the damage?
    How do you break the habit?
    I never knew you could be so savage
    So savage
    I never knew you could be so savage
    So savage

    Oh, in a flash flood of cruelty
    You washed the ground out from under me
    And, oh, you were through with me
    I was swept away

    What do you do when a man don't love you?
    He takes the sun from the sky above you
    How do you fix the damage?
    How do you break the habit?
    I never knew you could be so savage
    You could be so savage
    You could be so savage
    I never knew you could be so savage Writer/s: DYLAN SHEFFIELD BAULD, VALERIE ANNE POXLEITNER LIGHTS
