[Verse 1]
Was there ever a time that you could define
Tell me, was there ever a time that you could refine
What was boiling deep inside you
What was building up inside you?
So what do you do when none of it's true?
You gonna go and break the mirror you thought was you?
While it's coming down around you
It's all falling down around you

[Chorus]
If I took away your one excuse
Helped you down and cut the noose
Would you leave it all behind you?
Could you leave this all behind you?
If you tore away the tourniquet
And you put yourself in front of it
Could you leave this all behind you?
Would you leave this all behind you?

[Verse 2]
Tell me, was there ever a way, ever a day
You could have simply walked away or talked your way
Out of what was changing deep inside you
Rearranging what's inside you?
While you're looking around for someone to blame
I hear that you been running around, dropping my name
While the ship you're on is sinking
What the fuck have you been thinking?

[Chorus]
If I took away your one excuse
Helped you down and cut the noose
Would you leave it all behind you?
Could you leave this all behind you?
If you tore away the tourniquet
And you put yourself in front of it
Could you leave this all behind you?
Would you leave this all behind you?

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
If I took away your one excuse
Helped you down and cut the noose
Would you leave it all behind you?
Could you leave this all behind you?
If you tore away the tourniquet
And you put yourself in front of it
Could you leave this all behind you?
Would you leave this all behind you?
If I took away your one excuse
Helped you down and cut the noose
Would you leave it all behind you?
Could you leave this all behind you?
If you tore away the tourniquet
And you put yourself in front of it
Could you leave this all behind you?
Would you leave this all behind you?
