Lyrics

Hold your head high as you forfeit my love
Always the vulture though you look like the dove
Worst kind of love makes pain necessary
Should not have honeymooned on Calvary

I kiss you, you turn the other cheek
Your silence it deafens and your distance a shriek
I've been fiercely loyal with no care for the cost
Then you pretended not to know me, stapled me to your cross

Got caught and now your sorry
You only have stakes that I gave you as love
Your past mistake Dear, and now he lives here
Crucified with the stakes of my love

Never thought of you as labour, I just paid our bills
But your problems tripled … and so did your pills
I gave you love and money, worked three jobs for your car
Did you take down our pictures when you knew I was far?

I came home, you weren't dressed for church
How many names did you give? How many men in the lurch?
I've been fiercely loyal with no care for the cost
Then you pretended not to know me, stapled me to your cross.

Got caught and now you’re sorry
You only have stakes that I gave you as love
Your past mistake Dear, and now he lives here
Crucified with the stakes of my love

Crucified… with the stakes… of my love
