On the Cross - The Used

I needed to pray

Got down on my knees

I asked for a break from sympathy

It started off soft

And grew to a scream

I doubted anyone was listening

Forget what I said

Ignore all the voices in my head

Is that what it takes?

It takes to believe

I’m keeping my eyes open to see

So pray then, if it makes you feel safe

But all I can is we go our own way

We go our own way

So save us

Drink from the cup

And you shall receive

Sipping my glass that’s half full of empty

I needed to hurt

I needed to bleed

I need to feel something happening

I got on my knees

To ask for a break from sympathy

Is that what it takes?

What it takes to believe?

I’m keeping my eyes open to see

So pray, then, if it makes you feel safe

But all I can is we go our own way

So pray then, if it makes you feel safe

But all I can is we go our own way

We go our own way

So save us

Over and over and I still cannot believe

We can’t save ourselves

Give me a chance up on the cross and watch me bleed

And I’ll ask for help

Having faith in something you can’t see

Takes something else

Over and over and I still can not believe

We can’t save ourselves

So pray, then, if it makes you feel safe

But all I can is we go our own way

So pray then, if it makes you feel safe

But all I can is we go our own way

Send your prayers our way

To save us
