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
