about

true nature is revealed

lyrics

Well, I ain’t too proud to beg.
Well in fact I’m always on my knees
Happy birthday to me
Give me my ticket please
Tell me something sweet
Believe me, I always believe you.

I’m getting too old
To be running ‘round this same town
And, it’s got me a little down
Who’s the fool now?
Give me my fool’s crown.
I’m sorry if I let you down.

No, I could never
love enough or for free
See pieces of the stone
just kind of break away
And no, I could never love enough or for free,
See pieces of the stone
just kinda break away

I ain’t afraid of the future
But I regret my past
But friends I’m running at last
These bastards try to break you
Try to tame you
You can’t tell, I’m thinking of you all along.

I learned that love ain’t easy
Though it’s easy to fall in love
At least that’s what I thought it was
When my chest burning
My heart was racing, was shaking.
Thinking of you all along.

No, I could never
Love enough or for free, you see.
Pieces of the stone just kinda break away
No, I could never
Love enough or for free, you see.
Pieces of the stone just kinda break away

Fell in love with the sunlight
Once I stopped running in my sleep
Once I stopped crying for release
From that young libertine
Pole position on her steed
Receiving more than she ever paid.

No, I could never
Love enough or for free, you see.
Pieces of the stone just kinda break away
No, I could never
Love enough or for free, you see.
Pieces of the stone just kinda break away
No, I could never
Love enough or for free, you see.
Pieces of the stone just kinda break away
