I Was A Prayer Lyrics

I am waiting 'til there's nothing left
I'm a prayer, all you see is breath
I am empty, I am skin and bones, I'm a ribcage
Well, I'm out the door with apathy
And I'm coming home with sympathy
I am realize, I am shame, I choose to stay here

You got it signed so I paid the ransom
You felt sorry so I faked her outcome
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm
My arm

There's a song I love so much I stole
Every precious note I took, I sold
Now I spit out words 'til you see my lungs on the dancefloor
To a hopeless cause, I sold my soul
A romantic plastic piece of shit you can mold
Until I break into chokable pieces

You got it signed so I paid the ransom
You felt sorry so I faked her outcome
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm
My arm

And I open up like the back of a book
I ruin everything with just a quick look
And I settle down like a rocket explodes
Hit the ground while I file every note

You got it signed so I paid the ransom
You felt sorry so I faked her outcome
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm
My arm

these are copied verbatim from the book, read it before you post lyrics!

I am waiting 'till there's nothing left I'm a prayer, all you see is breath I ampty, I am skin and bones, I'm a rib cage I am out the door with apathy But I'm coming home with sympathy I am realized, I am shamed, I choose to stay here

(Below is where most the the errors are, I don't know why, the words are NOT hard to understand, but keep in mind, I'm sill using the book!)

You got a sign, so I paid a ransom You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm

There's a song I love so much I stole Every precious note I took I sold Now I pit out words. Do you see my lungs on the dance floor? To a hopeless cause I sold my soul A romantic plastic peice of shit you can mold Untill I break into chockable pieces

I open up like the back of a book I ruin everything with just a quick look And I settle down like a rocket explodes Hit the ground, but how far out who knows You got a sign, so I paid a ransom You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come Had a nice grip on my life till you twisted my arm

Great song, but what do the first lines of the chorus mean? They seem to be pretty irrelevant to the rest of the song.

An error occured.

i believe the line in the chorus is "...so i faked her outcome..."
