CURSED

[Intro] (clean guitar, scratching beat) We had a plan, we had a list A little trouble, nothing big We laughed like nothing could go wrong Then something changed before too long [Verse 1] (bratty rhythmic delivery) He gave us ten, no more, no less Ten little chances to confess First was helping someone home Second was fixing what we'd thrown We thought this deal was totally cursed But I kinda felt like we'd begun [Pre-Chorus] Maybe we're not the guys we knew Maybe there's something else to prove I didn't plan to care this much But changing people can be tough [Chorus] (belting, wall of sound guitars) Ten good deeds! That's what we got Ten good deeds! Like it or not We made it through, we made it nine Then one bad choice and crossed the line! [Verse 2] (fast conversational delivery) Fifth was a kid who lost his way Sixth was helping an old man today Ninth was the absolute hardest one Just helping someone because they needed us And suddenly I looked around These weren't the guys I thought I'd found [Break] (whispered over quiet bassline) Nine. That's the number. We were so close. [Chorus] (belting, thick harmonies) Nine good deeds! And then we stopped Nine good deeds! Then something dropped We got careless for one short while One stupid choice, one careless smile! [Bridge] (choppy rhythm) We didn't mean to hurt anyone We didn't plan what we'd become But accidents can have a cost And sometimes you don't know what's lost! No second chance, no open door The deal was done for evermore! [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] (maximum energy) Ten good deeds! We needed ten Ten good deeds! We had nine then Now we're carrying what we made A price for choices we never weighed! [Outro] (sustained power chord) Maybe we're somewhere in between. Ten. Not nine. Ten.
