|
So let's set the scene |
|
He walked out to a busy street |
|
In the summer heat |
|
Hazy from the night before |
|
Not the type to spend one alone |
|
Even though he knows |
|
Come the morning, he'll be gone |
|
Just moving on |
|
She awoke in an empty bed |
|
The sting of regret |
|
Creeping into every bone |
|
On the nightstand, a note that read: |
|
'Girl, I won't be back, |
|
you deserve better than that' |
|
She would cry if she could lie to herself |
|
'Cause she's used to the first time |
|
Always bein' her last |
|
Can you see it drippin' down from her lips |
|
Dancin' on her fingertips? |
|
Can you see the pain that she hides |
|
Deep inside, in her eyes? |
|
This is all just what it seems |
|
Gimme just another dream |
|
Could be that the end doesn't always |
|
Just justify the means |
|
Sometimes it's better to just leave |
|
Sometimes it's better to just leave |
|
So let's set this straight |
|
Two weeks later, he's back again |
|
City of sin |
|
And she's acting out her role |
|
She arrives a touch at the waist |
|
To another pretty face |
|
And she's takin' this one home |
|
She will lie, and he will buy her lines |
|
'Cause you were never the first |
|
She tries that shit all the time |
|
Can you see it drippin' down from her lips |
|
Dancin' on her fingertips? |
|
Can you see the pain that she hides |
|
Deep inside, in her eyes? |
|
This is all just what it seems |
|
Gimme just another dream |
|
Could be that the end doesn't always |
|
Just justify the means |
|
Sometimes it's better to just leave |
|
She's so afraid of what she's become |
|
She's beggin' just to feel something for anyone |
|
Nothing can stand, but she's made up her |
|
Mind is all, I can't hang on now |
|
She is on her own |
|
Get out while you still have some heart left |
|
You can't say 'so long' with no hope |
|
Can you see it drippin' down from her lips |
|
Dancin' on her fingertips? |
|
Can you see the pain that she hides |
|
Deep inside, in her eyes? |
|
This is all just what it seems |
|
Gimme just another dream |
|
Could be that the end doesn't always |
|
Just justify the means |
|
Sometimes it's better to just leave (x5) |
