Thick as Thieves

[Verse 1]
Would it kill you to breathe easy?
Only seventeen miles lay between you and me
I could make it if I had to
I don't break easily
You got my council, thick as thieves
If there's a crime, we'll keep it secret
For there's only trace amounts left in your blood

[Pre-Chorus]
You may be a sinner
But you may be justified

[Chorus]
Just keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear I'll make it right

[Verse 2]
Will it kill me to breathe?
Not as easy as you think
It is between you and me
I could fake it if I have to
I don't break easily
I need your council, thick as thieves
I have no crime to keep a secret
It was hers, it was not mine

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I may be a sinner
But it wasn't me this time

[Chorus]
Just keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear I'll make it right

[Bridge]
Well, listen to yourself
There is a hemorrhage in your mouth
It won't stop bleedin'
Well, you may be the trigger
I will hold the smokin' gun, you'll get away clean
I'll keep your secrets 'til the grave has swallowed me
And I will never tell a tortured soul
They are burning by my side
That I am a sinner, I am a savior
I am a lie

[Chorus]
So keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear I'll make it right
