Face Value

Stepping out in cold rain falling down

Seems like a stranger has taken my mind for his own

Come over here pinch me I must be dreaming

The air is so cold I see no friends in sight



I took your words at face value

I never thought they were lies



Listen to me I have a story of my own

Like Jesus Christ with just one kiss I was shown

There must have been signs that were clear from the start

but I was blind, I was blind, I was blind



I took your words at face value

I never thought they were lies



Eye for an eye just makes the whole world blind

but I understand how Cain could risk all that he had

Go be a saint if you think you can live that way

but it makes me choke to see you fake that righteousness



I didn't know you were only joking

I took all your lies for truth
