Would it kill you to breath easy
Only seventeen miles lay between you and me
I could make it if I had to
I donŽt break easily
YouŽve got my counsel thick as thieves
If thereŽs a crime, weŽll keep it secret
For thereŽs only trace amounts left in your blood
You may be a sinner, but you may be justified
Just keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear IŽll make it right
Will it kill me to breath
Not as easy as you think it is
Between you and me
I could fake it if I have to
I donŽt break easily
I need your counsel thick as thieves
I have no crime to keep a secret
It was hers it was not mine
Well I may be a sinner, but it wasnŽt me this time
Just keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear IŽll make it right
Well listen to yourself
There is a hemorrhage in your mouth
It wonŽt stop bleeding
Well, you may be the traitor
I will hold the smoking gun
YouŽll get away clean
IŽll keep your secrets
Till the grave has swallowed me
And I will never tell a tortured soul
That are burning by my side
That I am a sinner, I am a savior, I am alive
So keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear IŽll make it right
