lyrics

Well I'll take your name;
I'll smother it in dirt
If your pride really comes at such a cost
I swear I'll make it hurt
Should I really have to change for you
if you're never gonna change at all?
Since when does loving differently mean
'less acceptable'?

Would it make you happy?
Would it gain me any more love?
Would I still feel righteous indignation if it
made me what you want?
Would it give me any satisfaction?
Would that life ever be enough?
Tell me what makes me such a sinner if I've
never believed in god?

Oh.

What a double standard;
what a lonely, twisted frame of mind.
If your love comes with conditions
what makes it so better than mine?
Should I really have to deal with you,
if you're never gonna change for me?
'Cause I'll walk away with my head high
if that's how things have to be.

Would it make you happy?
Would it gain me any more love?
Would I still feel righteous indignation
if it made me what you want?
Would it give me any satisfaction?
Would that life ever be enough?
Tell me what makes me such a sinner if I've
never believed in god?

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Would it make you happy?
Gain me any more love?
Would I still feel righteous indignation if it
made me what you want?
Would it give me any satisfaction?
Would that life ever be enough?
Tell me what makes me such a sinner if I've
never believed in god?
Would it make me happy?
Did you even think of that at all?
And I swear you'd feel the shame despite the way
I'd live the lie you want
Wouldn't bring me any satisfaction;
that life would never be enough.
Tell me what makes me such a sinner if
my worst offence is love?
