|
I'll wear the red dress tonight |
|
You will reel your heart in tight |
|
You can have the upper hand and I'll pretend to understand |
|
Why, it came to this |
|
How it came from there to here |
|
How we muddied what seemed clear |
|
Were we just doomed from the start |
|
Undermined by simple hearts |
|
Why'd it come to this |
|
Come down in silence, come down in fear |
|
Come down in pieces |
|
Come down in tears |
|
Well there're days when the light hits true |
|
Days of him days of you |
|
Nights of sweating, toss and turn |
|
Nights I feel your cigarette burn |
|
Why'd it come to this |
|
As we take our places in this charade |
|
If the sun's too hot, well then sit in the shade |
|
Jury's still out so we make lemonade and say |
|
Why'd it come to this |
|
Come down in silence, come down in fear |
|
Come down in pieces |
|
Come down in tears |
|
Well we all get what we deserve |
|
I get him and you get her |
|
Given the chance I still defer |
|
And maybe we will always wonder |
|
Why, it came to this |
|
So I'll wear the red dress tonight |
|
You will reel your heart in tight |
|
I will have the upper hand and |
|
You will finally understand |
|
Why, it came to this |
|
Why, it came to this |
|
Why, it came to this |
