Seventy Times Seven Lyrics

Seventy Times Seven

Back in school they never taught us 

what we needed to know 

Like how to deal with despair 

or someone breakin your heart 

For twelve years I've held it all together 

but a night like this is beggin to pull me apart 

I played it quiet left you deep in conversation 

I felt uncool and hung out around the kitchen 

I remember I kept thinking 

that I know you never would 

And now I know I want to kill you 

like only a best friend could 



Everyone's caught on to everything you do 

Everyone's caught on to... 



As if it happening wasn't enough 

I got to go and write a song 

just to remind myself how bad it sucked 

Ignore the sun, covers over my head 

Wrote a message on my pillow that says 

"Jesse, stay asleep in bed" 

Don't apologize (I hope you choke and die!) 

Search your cell for something which to hang yourself 

They say you need to pray 

if you want to go to heaven 

But they don't tell you what to say 

when your whole life has gone to Hell! 



Everyone's caught on to everything you do 

Everyone's caught on to... 

Everyone's caught on to 

(and I can't let you let me down again) 

everything you do 

Everyone's caught on to... 

(and I can't let you let me down again) 



So is that what you call a getaway? 

Tell me what you got away with 

Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish 

I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids 

Have another drink and drive yourself home 

I hope there's ice on all the roads 

And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt 

and again when your head goes through the windshield 



Is that what you call tact? 

You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back 

So let's end this call and end this conversation 

And is that what you call a getaway? 

Tell me what you got away with 

Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed 

when you say "best friends" means friends forever 



Is that what you call a getaway?!! 

Tell me what you got away with!! 

Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish!! 

I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids!! 

Have another drink and drive yourself home!! 

I hope there's ice on all the roads!! 

And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt 

then when your head goes through the windshield!! 



(I can't let you let me down again) 

Everyone's caught on to everything you do 

(and I can't let you let me down again) 

Everyone's caught on to... 

(I can't let you let me down again) 

Everyone's caught on to everything you do 

(and I can't let you let me down again) 

Everyone's caught on to... 



AHHHH!!!
