Throw Yourself Away

Nickelback · The Long Road [2003]

Baby's born on the bathroom floor

Her mother prays that it'll never cry

But nothing's wrong, you've got your prom dress on

When they ask you'll say "It isn't mine"

You know they're gonna know you lied



Why the hell don't you throw yourself away

You know they're gonna burn it down

Wash my hands of this

You notice how God ain't even helping you out

Wash my hands of this

You notice how God ain't even helping you

Why the hell don't you throw yourself away

You know they're gonna burn it down



So keep the way you feel anonymous

And hide it all until the day you die

Your secret's safe, at least you thought it was

But you can only keep it for a little while

And now you're terrified



Why the hell don't you throw yourself away

You know they're gonna burn it down

Wash my hands of this

You notice how God ain't even helping you out

Wash my hands of this

You notice how God ain't even helping you

Why the hell don't you throw yourself away

You know they're gonna burn it down



Baby's born on the bathroom floor

Her mother prays that it'll never cry

But nothing's wrong, you've got your prom dress on

When they ask you'll say "It isn't mine"

And damn you for thinking we will never know

And damn you for thinking we would never mind

Only reason that you made it this far

You never asked Him but you never tried



Why the hell don't you throw yourself away

Why the hell don't you blow yourself away

You know they're gonna burn it down

Wash my hands of this

You notice how God ain't even helping you out

Wash my hands of this

You notice how God ain't even helping you



Wash my hands of this

You notice how God ain't even helping you out

Wash my hands of this

You notice how God ain't even helping you



Why the hell don't you blow yourself away

You know they're gonna burn it down
