THE SHIRT'S OFF MY BACK

I stood by you
through thick and thin.
I've shaded you from harm
and blocked you from sin.
I would take your dirt
and put it on me,
just to make sure
in the gates of heaven you'll be.
I never held my tongue
when you craved the truth.
I haven't let you go
when on the edge of the roof.
If you were to jump off
I would break your fall.
Cause I'd rather die
then see you cry at all.
It breaks my heart
when you are mad
I'm in rage
when you are sad.
The only time I'm happy
is when you're glad,
yet,
the only time you're glad
is when I'm sad.
The way I do them,
they won't do me the same.
I know the reason I get hurt.
I know I'm to blame.
I will now love myself
until I'm unable to tame.
I now put me first
and it gets no higher.
In order to get to me
you must travel through the wires.
I'm one of my own
and I live for myself.
If you don't like it,
step to the left.
