lyrics

it’s down to me, it’s only me
left to yourself on a holy eve, it’s only me
you wanted to leave, you wanted to leave
s soon as you opened the door you wanted to leave
but nothing’s for free, nothing’s for free
you can’t give him all my money make fool out of me
nothing’s for free
shots rang out he slammed the door
and pushed the pedal to the floor

hold your ground while you hold her down
and Gil’s got lose in Texas and he’s gonna get
everything he paid for, everything he paid for

I was asleep, I was asleep
but I could hear them praying for me, I was asleep
I was asleep
but I could hear them feeling sorry for me
I made all my own decisions, just let it be
just let me be
all I wanna do is finally rest in peace
all these machines, all these machines
pumping air to where a soul should be
all these machines, all these machines are failing me
you sure told me so
then they just let you go

hold your ground while you hold her down
and Gil’s got lose in Texas and he’s gonna get
everything he paid for, everything he paid for

guns on tv, guns on tv
loud sounds at night so I’ll never sleep
guns on tv, screams on tv
such a high price for their sympathy
but what then is really free
I took a young girl’s life now I’m never free
I was asleep
guilty or not, they run their show
but they just let me go

hold your ground while you hold her down
and Gil’s got lose in Texas and he’s gonna get
everything he paid for, everything he paid for
everything he paid for, everything he paid for
