Lyrics
I’m on a scaffold
Trying to be bold
I’ve said no words revealing you
Pearl is not just mine
Baby it’s not fine
All of this shame is meant for two
I know it’s hard to imagine
The people that you’d let down
But you can’t act so holy
When your sin’s all around
You say it’s too late to come clean
And reveal truth to the town
In that time that you’ve wasted
Chillingworth’s broken you down
Guilt’s consumed your life
Better you go with a knife
Now you’re paralyzed by
Lies and my
Deep ignominy but
You cannot see the
hurt in my eyes
I’m on a scaffold
Trying to be bold
I’ve said no words revealing you
Pearl is not just mine
Baby it’s not fine
All of this shame is meant for two
If happy ever after did exist
You’d be standing next to me on this
I’m the one who knows your full of it
Get your Scarlet Letter or I’ll be sick
OHHHH
You only meet me and your daughter
When no people can see
She’s got no stuff that you bought her
She just wants a family of three
You can’t expect her to wait here
For you to come around
I know I’ve said it before but
Chillingworth’s broken you down
Guilt’s consumed your life
Better you go with a knife
Now you’re paralyzed by
Lies and my
Deep ignominy but
You cannot see the
Hurt in my eyes
I’m on a scaffold
Trying to be bold
I’ve said no words revealing you
Pearl is not just mine
Baby it’s not fine
All of this shame is meant for two
If happy ever after did exist
You’d be standing next to me on this
I’m the one who knows your full of it
Get your Scarlet Letter or I’ll be sick
Ohhhhh
Now baby get that A
So everyone sees who you are today
Baby I’m telling you to get that A
Be who you really are today
Baby I'm telling you to get that A
So everyone sees who you are todayyyyy
Now we’re on that scaffold
And you have been bold
You said the words revealing truth
Pearl is not just mine
But baby it’s fine
All of this shame was meant for two
If happy ever after did exist,
You wouldn’t have died and we’d have bliss
Together we will never ever sit
I guess that our lives weren’t meant to fit
It’s just me on this scaffold
