Don't Spare Me

Lyrics

You sold me with a kiss and played me to perfection
The words fell from your lips, a scripted conversation
But when the circus left town
I was surplus to every obligation, let down

The time had come to disappear
The signs said you're not welcome here
Move along

Don't spare me my life, don't think I'll look twice
Don't say I won't listen to my own advice
Don't spare me my life, don't leave in the knife
Don’t let me convince you that I’ve paid the price this time

You gave it to me once, a promise to deliver
You've shaken all my trust to sit and watch me shiver
But when I walked through the town
All the windows said everything must go now
Close down

The wind was whispering something's wrong
You know there's nowhere you belong, fade away

Don't spare me my life, don't think I'll look twice
Don't say I won't listen to my own advice
Don't spare me my life, don't leave in the knife
Don’t let me convince you that I’ve paid the price this time

Dreaming I could run
I thought I wouldn't be the only one
Left out to dry and cracking in the sun
Then I heard you laugh - but anyway

Now you've paid your weight in silver
And you sold me down the river
Putting me on display
Come see the man of clay
This is his final day

You, you’re one of us
We know you, accept you
You, you’re part of us
We want to protect you

No, don’t spare me
I’m nothing to no one
No, don’t spare me
I’m stunted and broken
No, I’m hunting for the enemy
I’m nothing to no one... no one
