Cover art for Thick As Thieves lyrics by Dashboard Confessional

those lyrics are definitely not right...

Would it kill you to breathe Is it only 17 miles right between you and me I could make it if I had to I don't break easily Got my counsel, thick as thieves If there's a crime we'll keep it secret But there's only trace amounts left in your blood You may be a sinner But you may be justified

Just keep your mouth shut Keep your guard up I swear I'll make it right

Will it kill me to breathe? Not as easy as you think it is between you and me I could fake it if I have to I don't break easily Got my counsel, thick as thieves I have no crown to keep a secret It was hers, it was not mine Well I may be a sinner But it wasn't me this time

Just keep your mouth shut Keep your guard up I swear I'll make it right

Listen to yourself You have a hemorrhage in your mouth It won't stop bleeding You may be the traitor But I will hold the smoking gun We'll get away clean I'll keep your secrets til the grave has swallowed me And I will never tell a tortured soul that's burning my side That I am a sinner I am a savior I am a lie

So keep your mouth shut Keep your guard up I swear I'll make it right
