[Intro]
   

[Verse 1]
            
If you would'v

  
e blinked then

 I would've
       
Looked away at

 the first gla

nce
            
If you tasted 


poison, you co

uld've
       
Spit me out at

 the first cha

nce
            
And if I was s

   
ome paint, did

 it splatter
    
On a promising

 grown man?
            
And if I was a

 
 child did it 

matter
      
If you got to 

wash your hand

s?

[Pre-Chorus]
         
Ooh, ooh, ooh,

 
 all I used to

 do was pray
            
Would've, coul

      
d've, should'v

e

If you'd never

 looked my way

[Chorus]
              
I would've sta

         
yed on my knee

s
            
And I damn sur

              
e never would'

   
ve danced with

 the devil
      
At nineteen
            
And the God's 

              
honest truth i

           
s that the pai

n was heaven
             
And now that I

             
'm grown, I'm 

          
scared of ghos

ts
         
Memories feel 

like weapons
             
And now that I

             
 know, I wish 

            
you'd left me 


wondering

[Verse 2]
           
If you never t


ouched me, I w

ould've
     
Gone along wit

h the righteou

s
         
If I never blu

shed, then the

y could've
     
Never whispere

d about this
            
And if you nev

   
er saved me fr

om boredom
          
I could've gon

e on as I was
            
But, Lord, you

         
 made me feel 

important
            
And then you t

ried to erase 

us

[Pre-Chorus]
         
Ooh, ooh, ooh,

 
 you're a cris

is of my faith
            
Would've, coul

      
d've, should'v

e

If I'd only pl

ayed it safe

[Chorus]
              
I would've sta

         
yed on my knee

s
            
And I damn sur

              
e never would'

[Bridge]
