I'm loveless and lawless
And running scared
Been to hell and back
But not gotten anywhere
You followed me down
Till we hit the ground
And clawed our way back
Because you wore that crown
I took a rope to make me a noose
But you threw me a lifeline instead
I took a rope to make me a noose
But you threw me a
I'm wanted and wasted
And running out
A case of "the needs"
And time without you
It wasn't until
I let you down
Did I find out
How I need your round
I took a rope to make me a noose
But you threw me a lifeline instead
I took a rope to make me a noose
But you threw me a
And I got so lost
That I joined the street parade
But I came back
A choice I'm glad I made
I'm reckless, I'm ruthless
Tattered and torn
Like a worn out flame
That'll no longer burn
You were the one
To stand by your man
In a sky filled black
You stood your ground
To give me your love
And to understand
I took a rope to make me a noose
But you threw me a lifeline instead
I took a rope to make me a noose
But you threw me a lifeline instead
Yeah, I took a rope
Yeah, I took a rope to make me a noose
Yeah, I took a rope
I took a rope to make me a noose
I took a rope to make me a noose
But you threw me a lifeline instead
I took a rope
Yeah, I took a rope
But you threw me a lifeline instead
