You take a socially conscious view
Of the things you do
Try and take a walk
In everybody else's shoes
Makes me wonder
What was on your mind
When you laid old Johnny down
While I sat alone in our bed
And closed my eyes
Well, violence comes
In many forms now dear
And the sweetest and subtlest
Is waiting for you in your mirror
'Cause when the Jamison's came out
All the boys found a brand new friend
And things got cold and lonely
In our bed
And the band played
'Save the last dance for me'
And I felt that shiver
Rolling through my gut
And now you know that you lie
And I found out I can't cry
And I lost another lover
That we never had
Well, the truth is I should'a known
Better when it came to you
'Cause you were drinking
And your body was a thing to do
It was the wrong place for me
I been stone sober like a cup of tea
Man, it was cold and lonely
In your bed
And the band played
'Save the last dance for me'
And I felt that shiver
Rolling through my gut
And now you know that you lie
And I found out I can't cry
And I lost another lover
That we never had
I'm alone now kind'a peaceful
With the passing pain
And it wasn't much fun
Being spoon fed your muddy rain
But now I revel in the brutal thought
That you don't return the things you bought
And you bought yourself
A cold and a lonely bed
And the band played
'Save the last dance for me'
And I felt that shiver
Rolling in my gut
And you found out that you lie
And now I know I don't cry
And I lost another lover
That we never had
We both lost a lover
That we never had
