I don't know if I ever wanted. The things you said we wanted together. Now and forever. Too many nights I'd lie awake. Listening to every breath you'd take.
I never been a mess like this before. Coming apart at the seams. I feel like a fugitive. Walking through another man's dreams. I go to bed thinking about caving in.
Well the best defense is the bright lights. Underneath which you commit that dark crime. Look I was there. I watched it all go down. . And I still can't believe my eyes.
We met in Montreal. Far from the crime. Moving in circles. Running with so little time. Sat and we talked. About rumors and lies. Stayed til the sun hit the floor.
[Verse 1]. I live on this rock. Where the grass don't grow. And talk is cheap well I ought to know. And I'm not proud of this world we've made. Still it's a part of you and me.
What took so long to build took a moment to slip away. You could barely hide the satisfaction on your face. Time takes another day. Changes you in subtle ways.
Strange and beautiful are the stars tonight. That dance around your head. In your eyes I see that perfect world. I hope that doesn't sound too weird. .
You're feeling over the hill. Chasin' powder and pills. But you don't mind the taste. Of the slow burnin' waste. Until you feel like trash. Ya might as well have a gas.
I should have seen through it but you were so intent. The nervous breakdown on an overworked bed. You couldn't wait to get over the edge. . You were drunk on the silver.
Don't you know that we're out of touch,. Yeah, we fight too much,. How'd we ever get so messed up?. Every night, we say the craziest things. You know our words they once had wings..
Can't stand the sight of myself. Lying in bed all day with the curtains drawn. Staring at the clock on the window ledge. The angry words you said come back so strong.
Girl of mine. Where did we go wrong. . Oh you never once said you loved me. And you never once called my name. And now I. I can see the way. . My memories like cigarettes.
Forever lost in comparisons. Between you and the better man. Yeah you're always so quick. To take a bow. . And your postcard sincerity. I've got to laugh at your circus sympathy.
On this useless night. With you so far away. I stand in front of this Ferris wheel. And I wonder what am I doing here. And I wonder what am I doing here.
And I remember Florida. The land of endless malls. Images of Elvis flicks. Convertibles and blondes. And I remember crying. As you walked away along the shore.
I'm not saying I'm angry now. I'm just wondering why you changed your mind. Happens all the time. How does it feel to have a winning hand. From a first-rate failure.
Blue Rodeo Fools Like You lyrics. So good at doing. What you don't do. Just trying to protect yourself. And other fools like you. So well practiced. In your deceit.
Well, these late night conversations. Leave a strange taste,. Like french cigarettes.. And these colored drinks. That you keep on throwin' at me. Just keep on reminding me.
I don't know where it all began. I only know what I was told. Now rumours fly in from everywhere. People got so cold. . I don't mind. I'll stand anywhere with you anytime.
