You ran away with your consience clear
   There was a red flag waving in my ear saying
   "Stay away, you've got something to fear"
   Well why did I not choose to hear?
   Well I am through with suffering
   Gonna make better choices I don't need no wedding ring
   I can sing, I can dance
   But I can't make this feeling cease
   Cause deep in my soul you left a permanent crease and
  
   We all got our cross to bear
   Our Star of Davod, our dreadlocked hair
   And oh yeah baby, I still care
   And if you need some help
   You know I'll always be there
  
   Well it's been a strange year
   You've been a very bad dog
   As my fire went out
   You'd put another log
   But it wasn't worth never ahving any peace
   And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease and
  
   Repeat chorus
  
   Some nights I thought I'd cry forever
   I'd wish him away and then I'd turn into a beggar
   But it was worth always scraping my knees
   And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease
  
   I wear my heart like a wrinkle on my sleeve
   And I've got this aching love that only you can relieve
   But I'm not afraid to go down with a sinking friend
   I'm gonna live out my dreams even if they kill me in the end
  
   Repeat chorus
