Tales of an endless heart
Cursed is the fool who's willing
Can't change the way we are
One kiss away from killing

Don't you say, don't you say it
Don't say, don't you say it
One breath, it'll just break it
So shut your mouth and run me like a river

Shut your mouth, baby, stand and deliver
(Like a river, like a river)
Holy hands, will they make me a sinner?
(Like a river, like a river)
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
Choke this love 'til the veins start to shiver
(Like a river, like a river)
One last breath 'til the tears start to wither
(Like a river, like a river)
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
