lyrics
He thought the girl was closer to God so-
he got closer to her
but she's just looking for a piece of mind so
he just got hurt
he just got hurt he just got her-
he just got hurt he just got her -
he strung the last tear on the seventh sword
like- ahhhhhh ahhhhhhh ahhhhh ahhhhh ahhhhhh
and I wonder will I ever have the good luck to meet-
a man who hates himself less than he can learn to love me- I’m sick of loving like a hurricane and always getting hurt -it’s happened with each flame so it seems I must be cursed -
told my heart had seven Devils but it hurts so much worse -and since i've faced a good deal of demons I’ve have come to be sure- that they are not seven devils but in fact seven swords- that they are not seven devils but in fact seven swords-well Mary loved a tortured saint and just look what happened to her -when I kiss the lips of a roadless poet of course I’m left with a thorn Cuz-
He thought the girl was closer to God so-
he got closer to her
but she's just looking for a piece of mind so
he just got hurt
he just got hurt he just got her-
he just got hurt he just got her -
he strung the last tear on the seventh sword
like- ahhhhhh ahhhhhhh ahhhhh ahhhhh ahhhhhh
told my heart had seven devils but it hurts so much worse -and since I've faced a good deal of demons I’ve come to be sure- that they are not seven devils but in fact seven swords-that they are not seven devils but in fact seven swords- well Mary loved a tortured saint and just look what happened to her -when I kiss the lips of a roadless poet of course I’m left with a thorn Cuz-
He thought the girl was closer to God so-
he got closer to her
but she was just looking for a piece of mind so
he just got hurt
he just got hurt he just got her-
he just got hurt he just got her -
he strung the last tear on the seventh sword
