dragging my name

nothing was ever so simple

nothing ever turns out neat

for a fallen disciple

lying here at your feet

you were someone to believe in

someone that i could turn to

i wasn't worth deceiving

hope you know you didn't have to

so leave me with my dignity

leave me with my pride

even though the best of me

is broken up and put aside

don't go dragging my name around

don't go dragging my name

don't go dragging my name around

if there's one thing that i won't stand

it's you dragging me all over god's land

i never went to the water

never laid a hand on you

like a lamb to the slaughter

i laid myself down for you

on my own at the temple

everything i thought was true

it's just a little incidental

something i was going through

so leave me with my dignity

leave me with my pride

even though the best of me

is broken up and put aside

don't go dragging my name around

don't go dragging my name

don't go dragging my name around

if there's one thing that i won't stand

it's you dragging me all over god's land

nothing was ever so simple

nothing ever turns out neat

for a fallen disciple

lying here at your feet

i never went to the water

i never laid a hand on you

like a lamb at the slaughter

i laid myself down for you

so leave me with my dignity

leave me with my pride

even though the best of me

is broken up and put aside

don't go dragging my name around

don't go dragging my name

don't go dragging my name around

if there's one thing that i won't stand

it's you dragging me all over god's land

don't go dragging my name

don't go dragging my name around

if there's one thing that i won't stand

it's you dragging me all over god's land
