A Cross and a Girl Named Blessed

She wears a butterfly on her wrist

But she might as well cut its head off

She's holding out for weapons to kill the ghost inside

Or at least kill the thought she has of killing her mind

She says, "I love you," with her hands

She says, "I hate you," with her eyes

There's a pretty girl somewhere, with a pretty name

But I could never let you know how much this means

I swear we'll end this war 'cause we both know

It wasn't worth fighting for

I wear God's name up by my wrist

But she might as well tear my skin off

She's letting go convictions to release the ghost inside

To release all the suffering of a cross and a girl

I sing, "I love you," way too much

So I'll say, "I hate you," for tonight

There's a pretty girl somewhere, with a pretty name

But I could never let you know how much this means

I swear we'll end this war 'cause we both know

It wasn't worth fighting for

She, she said to me

I will be driving in the wrong direction

Did you ever think that maybe your life

Is heading in the wrong direction, baby?

There's a cross up on the wall

See from the corner of your eye

When you're down on your knees

And she's begging, "Please"

So go and lay back down tonight

Because you won't know who you are

'Til you're down on your knees

And you're begging, "Please"

There's a pretty girl somewhere, with a pretty name

But I could never let you know how much this means

I swear we'll end this war 'cause we both know

It wasn't worth fighting for

She said to me

She said to me
