Never Play Cards With A Shark

The fallen leaves are my failure.
I wanted what I couldn’t have,
but I took my place by her side,
and would those pageant lips be mine,
if only for tonight?
Even if it kills me as well as a bullet kills,
with this rope around my neck, it never seems to fail.
Give me the burial that I deserve,
I promise I’ll never love again.
I’ve got everything worked out in my head:
I’ll scrapbook these memories, lock them away forever.
In my head I know you’re gone,
but in my heart you’re still the one.
I saw your eyes change from green to grey,
and they’ll never look at me the same.
And all I ask is that you never come back
unless you’re gonna be mine.
I heard heaven in her voice,
her voice is all I need to sleep at night.
I saw glory in her eyes, the girl who stole the sky.
I heard heaven in her voice,
her voice is all I need to night.
The girl who stole the sky.
I won’t say goodbye.
