《My Good Deed》歌词

[00:00:17] I tried to save a girl I truly loved

[00:00:20] And didn't quite know how to help her

[00:00:26] So now she's sleeping as her parents up above

[00:00:29] Cry over things that they can't tell her

[00:00:35] And when I did my good deed

[00:00:37] I thought I'd feel unbroken gladness

[00:00:44] But standing in the street alone

[00:00:47] I just felt sinking sadness

[00:00:53] Girl your dad will not us bless

[00:00:57] So hang up your veil and dress

[00:01:02] Look at me and take one guess

[00:01:06] Where this best-intentioned love will lead us

[00:01:12] I once felt a feeling fully through

[00:01:14] Though I knew I shouldn't feel it

[00:01:20] Because to act on it I'd be a person

[00:01:23] Who should be slapped into a straitjacket

[00:01:29] So every time it comes around

[00:01:32] I just let it die inside me

[00:01:38] You said I only come around

[00:01:40] Because I just need you to hide me

[00:01:46] So we knelt in those dead w**ds

[00:01:51] Sticks and sharp rocks cutting into our knees

[00:01:56] And I thought that we would freeze

[00:02:00] But there was just too much warm blood in our bodies

[00:02:06] I'm not going to make you take the pills

[00:02:08] Though you should really think about it

[00:02:14] The fire by which we both were almost killed

[00:02:18] Glowed so beautiful don't doubt it

[00:02:24] But we have to make a choice now

[00:02:26] Can we glow without it

[00:02:32] There's a space I tried to fill

[00:02:36] But I'm seeing now I never will

[00:02:40] You fly around while I stand still

[00:02:45] Until I slowly just get smaller and smaller

[00:02:50] I tried to save a girl I truly loved

[00:02:53] And I never would desert her

[00:02:59] But we both found out that I was dreaming

[00:03:02] Of the day I thoroughly could hurt her

[00:03:08] And I saw myself inside her eyes

[00:03:11] This shrinking would-be savior

[00:03:17] Resented her for never needing help

[00:03:20] And couldn't wait just to betray her

[00:03:25] So we drove back to her place

[00:03:30] From the temporary home that we had made

[00:03:34] And I stepped back into the street

[00:03:39] Feeling the fullest moment of my life

[00:03:53] Slowly shrink away from me

[00:04:09] With my good deed
