I THANK GOD I DO NOT GET WHAT I WANT

Official Lyrics

No body, no crime

So I make it obvious before I walk away

What I once denied, so terrified to face

And it never gets easy, it only gets harder

 

Til I let it go

Unafraid to feel, let myself bleed it out

So go ahead and you can try to take me down

But it never gets easy, it only gets harder

 

‘Cause I say the hard, true words

When it matters, if it hurts

And don’t resist my fate

If what I want, what I wanted’s pulled away

I thank God I’ll never know

 

‘Cause I did my time

Not unconditional

I sharpened up my teeth

Bit through my collar

Chewed my way out of your leash

Bit as hard as I could til I could bite harder

 

And when it goes

It’s partly spinning in circles

Head on the pavement

And get through the hard parts

Marvel at how good things end up somehow

 

If I say the hard, true words

When it matters, if it hurts

And don’t resist my fate

If what I want, what I wanted’s pulled away

I thank God I’ll never know

 

Because I know

That while they’re donating their souls

For good of their fellow man

I’m better off dying alone

 

And it never gets easy

It only gets harder

Until then it gets good

 

Spinning in circles

Head on the pavement

Get through the hard parts

Dreaming about you
