These stark words... |
|
He bowed his head in silence His heart dropped to his stomach Like a bomb over a city making war He reached for the volume knob Trying to think of some tact Thoughts burned away.... The war was all ready lost... Yeah she was sitting on the steps He was waiting for a red carpet to be rolled But too bad it's all ready been walked over With footsteps that can't be washed away And now slowly sinking into his place He slipped away..caught in the moment This is not something to live for... The windows cried of emptiness The door greeted me said "Come on in." I never ever wanted to give in To the comfort of old memories Of rain dancing on rooftop shingles The music quietly playing through the speakers Of a basement where we once exchanged smiles The kind of smiles that you wouldn't trade For some sunshine these days But I gave in I gave in.... Now what's a fool to say When she says, "I'm sorry." "Oh no..just don't worry about it happens." Well I suppose these things do happen But why do I let myself just give in Guess the heart just beats the thought to the punch "But don't let it happen again." , a voice said. Now there must of been some delay in her voice The kind of effect that made you think before she spoke The words that would make a deaf man cry Yeah I must be deaf cos I was putting up a damn A damn to hold this flood back And i'll be damned if you could see it my eyes But thank God for the night.... Now I think I learned a lesson That me and love don't play our cards right Cos heart break is always adding up to a 21 And i'm always busting.... Getting pushed over the egde Hit me again cos I really have nothing to lose Move on to my next dealer Throw some money on the table And now im bankrupt again... Folded my hand my luck goes dead... But you never believed in luck at all.. It's just the way you play your cards.
