I walk by the rivers edge Skipping smooth wet stones And watching them sink I never was a fan of innocence I've got two black eyes And an empty fifth of gin
And I see I'm wrong for you But we tried You swear I'm hard to lay beside If I was you I'd run from me most nights Maybe I was meant to be left behind
Thundering circumstances Beyond our control rumble in Counting time by the lines 'round your eyes As your gentle caress helps me forget And I think it's time to say good night And you swear I'm hard to lay beside Now years seem to pass as we blink our eyes Maybe I was meant to be left behind
By all of our heartfelt lies All of our heartfelt lies All of our heartfelt lies Are not enough this time
And I see I'd love to spend the night But you found someone else to lay beside And I know it makes sense But it's like sand in my eyes Maybe I was meant to be left behind Thanks to Mallory
