[Verse 1]
Brought my heart down South
Opened my chest
Took it out
Left it on the ground
Shattered pieces
Around town
[Verse 2]
Tried to hang myself to dry
Couldn't take another fight
But the clothesline was too high
One more thing I can’t do right
[Bridge]
Oh
This is always how it ends
Oh
But I thought I'd play pretend
[Chorus]
Now Moravian stars haunt me through my life
Cast shadows on chapels in the back of my mind
I never pray
And I am one to spite
Maybe I'm evil
And I’ve paid the price
Oh, I've paid the price
[Verse 3]
Mid-December stroll
In the garden
Rancor sowed
Asked why you were cold
Stonewalled, still
I loved you so
[Verse 4]
Wish I could go back in time
Called my Winston, no reply
Frozen in a past timeline
All the moments stratified
[Bridge]
Oh
And I wished that I were dead
Oh
We saw Christmas lights instead
[Chorus]
Now Moravian stars haunt me through my life
Cast shadows on chapels in the back of my mind
I never pray
And I am one to spite
I think I'm evil
And I've paid the price
Oh, I've paid the price
[Outro]
Why do I still feel you in my life
Pulling me down paths that aren't mine?
I still taste your cigarettes
From when we kissed goodnight
Before you drove away for the last time
[Chorus]
Now Moravian stars haunt me through my life
Cast shadows on chapels in the back of my mind
I never pray
And I am one to spite
I know I'm evil
And I've paid the price
Oh, I’ve paid the price
