Close enough to start a war
All that I have is on the floor
God only knows what we're fighting for
All that I say, you always say more
I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb, I can't breathe
So I won't let you close enough to hurt me
No, I won't ask you, you to just desert me
I can't give you what you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables, to turning tables
Under haunted skies I see
Where love is lost, your ghost is found
I've braved a hundred storms to leave you
As hard as you try, no, I will never be knocked down
I can't keep up with your turning tables

Under your thumb, I can't breathe
So I won't let you close enough to hurt me, no
I won't ask you, you to just desert me
I can't give you what you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables, turning tables
Next time I'll be braver, I'll be my own savior
When the thumb that cost me
Next time I'll be braver, I'll be my own savior
Standing on my own two feet
I won't let you close enough to hurt me, no
I won't ask you, you to just desert me
I can't give you what you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables, to turning tables
Turning tables, yeah, turning

I just listened to the song twice to make sure I was hearing it correct. It is "ask you." Not rescue. I know sometimes it's hard to to hear her clearly cause of get style of singing but she is pretty clear at that part

You would think someone would correct the lyrics on this one, as there are a lot of mistakes (the funniest of which is, to me, "when the thumb that cost me" instead of "when the thunder calls for me") doesn't change the fact that this song is amazing, though!

These lyrics are wrong. I have the official song book and it's recuse you, not ask you. And it's the heart you thought the gave met, not what you thought you gave me. amazing song though

It is "rescue" and "the heart". The first time I heard it I thought it was saying the other lyrics, but I listened to it with the right lyrics and you can definitely hear it! Plus it makes more sense with rescue than ask you... Thank you for posting the correction.

It's ask if you listen to the song
David29334
no, believe me, its rescue. it's a little hard to hear, but if you listen closely enough, the lyrics are
I won't rescue, you to just desert me
and
The heart you thought you gave me
