lyrics

Shaking and mumbling, you calmly drop your weapon and take a look around
The cracks beneath the floorboards revealed wandering eyes
But you didn't care to check, you didn't care to check

Why would I save you on the night the town was red?
You were far too comfortable just leaving him for dead
And I patiently waited to send you away for the debt you refused to pay

You can't remember your motive but I know it well
The spotlight finds you and the stories you tell
Your formality made it too simple, you signed before you read
And your suit never fooled me 'cause you watched him as he bled
And I was there all along, I was there all along

Why would I save you on the night the town was red?
You were far too comfortable just leaving him for dead
And I patiently waited to send you away for the debt you refused to pay

Don't beg for forgiveness, 'cause your cries won't be heard
You underestimated my forewarning word
Your secrets' on the table as you hide underneath
Oh you'll hide underneath

Why would I save you on the night the town was red?
You were far too comfortable just leaving him for dead
Why would I save you on the night the town was red?
