Lyrics Brand New – Millstone

I used to be such a burning example
I used to be so original
I used to care, I was being cared for
Made sure I showed it to those that I love

I used to sleep without a single stir
‘Cause I was about my father’s work

Well take me out tonight
This ship of fools I’m on will sink
A millstone around my neck
Be my breath, there’s nothing I wouldn’t give

I used to pray like God was listening
I used to make my parents proud
I was the glue that kept my friends together
Now they don’t talk and we don’t go out

I used to know the name of every person I’d kissed
Now I’ve made this bed and I can’t fall asleep in it

Well take me out tonight
This ship of fools I’m on will sink
A millstone around my neck
Be my breath, there’s nothing I wouldn’t give

Throw me that lifeline
This ship of fools I’m on will sink
A millstone around my neck
Be my breath, there’s nothing I wouldn’t give

Never hit the brakes
There’s no time to save him
He just ran out in the street
Anybody know his name?
I think I recognize him
Sure as hell paid for that mistake

Whoa

So take me out tonight
This ship of fools I’m on will sink
A millstone around my neck
Be my breath, there’s nothing I wouldn’t give

To save my life tonight
This ship of fools I’m on will sink
A millstone around my neck
Be my breath, there’s nothing I wouldn’t give
