Q&A
If You Can't Hang Lyrics
Met a girl at seventeen
Thought she meant the world to me
So I gave her everything
She turned out to be a cheat
Said she'd been thinking for a long time
And she found somebody new
I've been thinking that this whole time
Well I never thought you'd stay
That's okay
I hope he takes your filthy heart
And then he throws you away someday
Before you go, there's one thing you oughta know
If you can't hang then, there's the door, baby
If you can't hang then, there's the door, baby
If you can't hang then, there's the door, baby
If you can't hang then, there's the door
I don't wanna take your precious time
'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty face
But you turned into a pretty big waste of my time
I don't wanna take up all your time
'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty face
But you turned into a pretty big waste of my time
You're the lowest type
You're the lowest
I met a girl talking away
She found a boy she knew she'd change
I changed my clothes, my hair, my face
To watch us go our separate ways
She said we've grown apart for sometime
But then she found somebody new
I hope Mr. Right puts up with all the bullshit that you do
Stay the hell away,
While I sit here by myself
And figure out how I got this way
Before you go, there's one thing you oughta know
If you can't hang then, there's the door, baby
If you can't hang then, there's the door, baby
If you can't hang then, there's the door, baby
If you can't hang then, there's the door
I don't wanna take your precious time
'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty face
But you turned into a pretty big waste of my time
I don't wanna take up all your time
'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty face
But you turned into a pretty big waste of my time
I don't want to get things confused
She said she'd never settle for some boy she couldn't use
So now I gotta call the doctor
So he can prescribe me medication
So I can deal with all the memories of being here this way
I met a girl at twenty-three
Knew she meant the world to me
So I gave her everything
And she did the same for me
Imagine that
'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty face
No you're such a pretty, pretty face
Well, oh yeah
'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty face
No you're such a pretty, pretty face
I don't wanna take your precious time
'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty face
But you turned into a pretty big waste of my time
I don't wanna take up all your time
'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty face
But you turned into a pretty big waste of my time
Would you please stay and come inside, baby
Would you please stay and please be mine, baby
Would you please stay and come inside, baby
Would you please stay and please be mine?
Thought she meant the world to me
So I gave her everything
She turned out to be a cheat
Said she'd been thinking for a long time
And she found somebody new
I've been thinking that this whole time
That's okay
I hope he takes your filthy heart
And then he throws you away someday
Before you go, there's one thing you oughta know
If you can't hang then, there's the door, baby
If you can't hang then, there's the door, baby
If you can't hang then, there's the door
'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty face
But you turned into a pretty big waste of my time
I don't wanna take up all your time
'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty face
But you turned into a pretty big waste of my time
You're the lowest
She found a boy she knew she'd change
I changed my clothes, my hair, my face
To watch us go our separate ways
She said we've grown apart for sometime
But then she found somebody new
I hope Mr. Right puts up with all the bullshit that you do
While I sit here by myself
And figure out how I got this way
Before you go, there's one thing you oughta know
If you can't hang then, there's the door, baby
If you can't hang then, there's the door, baby
If you can't hang then, there's the door
'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty face
But you turned into a pretty big waste of my time
I don't wanna take up all your time
'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty face
But you turned into a pretty big waste of my time
She said she'd never settle for some boy she couldn't use
So now I gotta call the doctor

'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty face
No you're such a pretty, pretty face
Well, oh yeah
'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty face
No you're such a pretty, pretty face
'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty face
But you turned into a pretty big waste of my time
I don't wanna take up all your time
'Cause you're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty face
But you turned into a pretty big waste of my time
Would you please stay and please be mine, baby
Would you please stay and come inside, baby
Would you please stay and please be mine?

Its such a great song I sit up at night and sing this to my self is reminds me of someone that use to be a really important part of my life but there not any more... I love this song me and my best friend sing it all the time when we walk into class, when we go into the school bathroom, then we walk in the hallways, then we are on the phone together... We sing this all the time SWS is my life now!!!! :)
I believe this:
I don't miss her, I was up without her. What's it that you'd do?
Should be:
I hope Mr. Right puts up with all the bullshit that you do.
Yeah, I can hear it now. Thanks for that.
Yeah, I can hear it now. Thanks for that.
This song is about the truth. <3 SWS <3 KQ
"Sail away, while I sit here by myself" should be "Stay the hell away, while I sit here by myself" and "But you're turning into a pretty big waste of my time." shoud be "But you're turned into a pretty big waste of my time.
*"But you turned into a pretty big waste of my time."
*"But you turned into a pretty big waste of my time."
def. one of my favorite songs from Sleeping With Sirens! I love all there songs honestly! This one is pretty fun to sing to though not gonna lie! haha SLEEPING WITH SIRENS FOREVER!
This song is just talking about a pretty girl who breaks his heart. So there's more to just the outside:)
“If You Can’t Hang” is described as “A depiction of three relationships and the lessons we learn along the way." says frontman Kellin Quinn "If you can’t hang then there’s the door baby.” Kellin Quinn just wanted someone to love, but instead he got a pretty face with a rotten core.
