lyrics

I've got the nails in my back pocket
Just waiting for a chance to drive 'em in
A crown of thorns for my princess
Until I crucify you why don't we pretend

I'll be your Jesus
Until I decide not to turn the other cheek
I'll nail you up I'll let this bitter cup pass from me this time

Got a heart full of forgiveness least that what I'll lead you to believe
But I'm counting your transgressions
Until I nail you up to laugh and watch you bleed

I'll be your Jesus
Until I place this crown of thorns upon your head
I won't stop until you feel the way you made me feel

With a kiss I'll betray you
You can taste it on my lips
I don't really want to but baby I can't quit
The only way that you can be redeemed
In my mind is when you suffer
