[Verse 1]

 Hand on the t

hrottle

 Thought I cau

ght lightning 

in a bottle
            
 Oh, but it’s 

      
gone again

 And it was wr

itten

 I got cursed 

like Eve got b

itten
            
 Oh, was it pu

    
nishment

 Pad around wh

en I get home

 I guess a les

ser woman woul

d’ve lost hope

 A greater wom

an wouldn’t be

g

 But I looked 

to the sky and

 said


[Chorus]
             
 Please, I’ve 

           
been on my kne

es
              
 Change the pr

    
ophecy, don’t 

want money
          
 Just someone 

              
who wants my c

    
ompany
              
 Let it once b

  
e me
              
 Who do I have

    
 to speak to
              
 About if they

     
 can redo the 

prophecy?


[

 Cards on thе 

table

 Mine play out

 like fools in

 a fablе
            
 Oh, it was si

      
nking in

 Slow is the q

uicksand

 Poison blood 

from the wound

 of the pricke

d hand
            
 Oh, still I d

        
ream of him


[Chorus]
             
 Please, I’ve 

           
been on my kne

es
              
 Change the pr

    
ophecy, don’t 

want money
          
 Just someone 

              
who wants my c

    
ompany
              
 Let it once b

  
e me
              
 Who do I have

    
 to speak to
              
 About if they

     
 can redo the 

prophecy?


[Bridge]

 And I sound l

ike an infant

 Feeling like 

the very last 

drops of an in

k pen

 A greater wom

an stays cool

 But I howl li

ke a wolf at t

he moon

 And I look unstable

 Gathered with

 a coven ’roun

d a sorceress’

 table

 A greater wom

an has faith

 But even stat

ues crumble if

 they’re made 

to wait
            
 I’m so afraid

   
 I sealed my f

ate
            
 No sign of so

ulmates
            
 I’m just a pa

              
perweight, in 


shades of grei

ge
             
 Spending my l

              
ast coin so so

            
meone will tel

              
l me it’ll be 

       
okay
      


[Chorus]
             
 Please, I’ve 

           
been on my kne

es
              
 Change the pr

    
ophecy, don’t 

want money
          
 Just someone 

              
who wants my c

    
ompany
              
 Let it once b

  
e me
              
 Who do I have

    
 to speak to
              
 About if they

          
 can redo the 

           
prophecy?
            
 Who do I have

    
 to speak to
          
 To change the

       
 prophecy?
