Lyrics
Dead to the world
Verse 1 -
Under a southern sky and far away from the grip you held me in.
The devil using the weakest man to commit the greatest sin.
Under a blanket hide and cry until you cannot feel to fight and maybe you choose the will to survive
Chorus 1-
What did you expect when you were so downtrodden?
I tried to protect you now I won't be forgotten.
And if I surprised you with my love that says more about you.
You couldn't accept me but you couldn't let go
And now I'm the only one who'll ever know
You cannot have now and you cannot hold
You're dead to the world
Verse 2 -
Deep in the dark of night, surrounded by the sense it wasn't right, and knowing that you would tell your lies.
And then when I heard her voice the cold hard truth about what you had been
And it was exactly as it seemed
Verse 3 -
And I will leave you with another someone else for you to tear apart
And watch you destroy each others hearts
Chorus 2-
What did you expect when you were so downtrodden?
I tried to protect you now I won't be forgotten.
And if I surprised you with my love that says more about you.
You couldn't accept me but you couldn't let go
And now I'm the only one who will ever know
You cannot have now and you cannot hold
You're dead to the world
