Cards We're Dealt

(álbum: Between Stages - 2018)

Let me ride off into that sunset
I think we've grown far too bright
Too bright, too bright
Let me ride off gracefully
Let me do this tastefully
I need to leave but I wanna see you tonight

Swear to God we have moments left
And yet this next one is our death
With every breath we rob ourselves of what's next
You know I can't put you down
Every time that you're around
I'm in love and yet I hate you all the same

You're a drug that's in my veins
You're an idea that's in my brain
You are you and yet you've changed, or remained the same
I couldn't tell you who you are
I bet you're better than what I saw
How the hell did we come this far,
Just to let it all fade into the dark?

I wish I brought out the best in you
I'm always a test to you
I wanna lie but I know that it's true
That I bring out the worst in you
And yet I bring out the best in you

I hope you understand why I can't be your man
I know it's just not in our hands
Not in the cards we're dealt
I look at it all and I scream, "Oh, damn!"
I hope you understand why I can't be your one
I wish I could with all I've sung
It's not in the cards we're dealt
I look at it all and I think I'm done
It's not in the cards we're dealt, we're done

Let me fall in this abyss
If I'm gone I can't miss your kiss
Your kiss, your kiss, your kiss
I wanna try to let it go
Seems so easy and yet you know
That this, yeah this is it

We're two stars spinning round
Get too close and we scorch the ground
But then we spin till we get too far apart
Wind up breaking both our hearts
You and I never got it right
Although we had our perfect nights
Then we'd wake up and watch it fall apart
Why does it have to be so hard?

And I want the best for you
I think nothing less of you
Please leave, I don't wanna be next to you
Can you feel it too?
I hope you don't think less of me
Understand you've been a test of me
I wanna lie but I know what I see
Know you bring out the worst in me
And yet you bring out the best in me

I hope you understand why I can't be your man
I know it's just not in our hands
It's not in the cards we're dealt
I look at it all and I scream, "Oh, damn!"
I hope you understand why I can't be your one
I wish I could with all I've sung
It's not in the cards we're dealt
I look at it all and I think I'm done
It's not in the cards we're dealt, we're done
It's not in the cards we're dealt, we're done
It's not in the cards we're dealt, we're done
It's not in the cards we're dealt, we're done
