Never thought that you'd teach me to walk away You said "I love you so much, baby, won't you stay?" So it goes, goes, goes, so it always goes So it goes, goes, goes, so it always goes I went down to the river to wash away the things I've done And all the names I've traced into my skin since you've been gone His hands, they feel just like yours against my arm But his voice, it sounds nothing like yours when you're telling me I'm wrong I sleep in agony, I sleep alone Your hangman hands have got me cold Guess you don't know, know, know, guess you'll never know Now you don't know, know, know Now you'll never know So I went back to the devil and told him everything I know Let him drink my blood and feed me wine in the TV glow And his hands they feel just like yours around my throat But his voice it sounds nothing like yours when you're begging me to come home So I went down to the river to wash away the things I've done And all the names I traced into my skin since you've been gone
