Hangman Hands

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

And 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, no, no, guess you'll never know

Now you don't know, no, no, 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 against my throat

But his voice it sounds nothing like yours when you're begging me to come home

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
