lyrics

I fuel the fire
I make it my own
shut all the lights off outside when you get cold
march one by one
call none of the shots
lighting a candle for those who don't get along

I'm so in love, feeling my heart on the floor
and its down in my knees and into my feet

Mother Mary
I owe you a life for all of the ones that I've wasted
it breaks my soul to tell you the news and I'm leaving
to find my baby girl

Mother Mary
I owe you a life because now her heart is breakin'
I'm a broken man getting down on his knees for his lady
she is my god, she's more than love

And I'll keep you safe, even when you don't come home
and you'll read me a Psalm, tell me that we will never get along

Mother Mary
I'm begging you please won't you free me from all of this heartache
my body is sore and my limbs are all shook I am restless
to get back to bed

Mother Mary
I gave up tonight and I don't know how else I can say it
I owe you a life because now her heart is breaking
she is my god, she's more than love
