Lyrics
The Cop
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Some men do it 'cause it pays the bills
Others want to save the world
Me myself, I never was a hero though
Joined the force like my daddy did
Figured I'd marry young
But the things I've seen made me take a different road
'Til you've been in the dark, you might never feel it
'Til you've been in the dark, you might think you're guaranteed
But your life can leave
With a spark
The rain falls on the blessed ones
And the damned
Met my girl about a year ago
Knew that I'd found a home
Laughed so much I felt like a kid again
Since that day, it's hard to do the job
It's hard to know what I've known
So much pain, and so few innocent
'Til you've been in the dark, you might never question
'Til you've been in the dark, you might think you're quarantined
Yeah, but nothing's free
And your love can leave
In the dark
The rain falls on the blessed ones
The rain falls on the damned
And you've changed my mind
I love you more
Than I love myself
And I'm scared to death
That you love me less
