To be what I could use
And caught me tempting fate
Still red handed and confused
Pride has sent me where
There's not much left to lose
Then cruelly let me care
And convinced me I could choose
Chorus:
About you
As if there was one small chance
To be through
With everything I can't
So even if this worn-out heart was new
And all it's foolish hopes were true
This one lifetime just won't do
'Cause I cried enough tears for two
Dreamin only served
To take my restless sleep
Stealing comfort from these eyes
So desperate for relief
Fueled by empty promises
They never meant to keep
Leaving me with nothing more
Than endless years to weep
Chorus:
Luck found me too late To be what I could use And caught me tempting fate Still red handed and confused Pride has sent me where There's not much left to lose Then cruelly let me care And convinced me I could choose Chorus: About you As if there was one small chance To be through With everything I can't So even if this worn-out heart was new And all it's foolish hopes were true This one lifetime just won't do 'Cause I cried enough tears for two Dreamin only served To take my restless sleep Stealing comfort from these eyes So desperate for relief Fueled by empty promises They never meant to keep Leaving me with nothing more Than endless years to weep Chorus: Explain Request ×
