Lyrics
I walk by the river's edge
I stroll along the riverbank
Skipping smooth wet stones and watching them sink
Skipping smooth wet stones and observing them sink
I never was a fan of innocence
I never liked purity or naivety
I've got two black eyes and an empty fifth of gin
I have two black eyes and an empty bottle of gin
And I see I'm wrong for you but we tried
I realize that I am not right for you, but we gave it a try
You swear I'm hard to lay beside
You insist that I am difficult to be with
If I was you I'd run from me most nights
If I were in your shoes, I would avoid me on most nights
Maybe I was meant to be left behind
Perhaps I was destined to be abandoned
Thundering circumstances beyond our control rumble in
Intense and uncontrollable circumstances create a disturbance
Counting time by the lines 'round your eyes
Measuring time by the wrinkles around your eyes
As your gentle caress helps me forget
Your tender touch helps me forget
And I think it's time to say good night
I believe it's time to bid farewell
And you swear I'm hard to lay beside
You insist that I am difficult to be with
Now years seem to pass as we blink our eyes
Now years seem to pass by quickly as we age
Maybe I was meant to be left behind by all of our heartfelt lies
Maybe I was meant to be abandoned by all the lies we told each other
All of our heartfelt lies
All the lies we told each other were heartfelt
All our heartfelt lies are not enough this time
However, our sincere lies are not sufficient this time
And I see
I realize
I'd love to spend the night but you found someone else to lay beside
I would love to spend the night with you, but you have found someone else
And I know it makes sense but it's like sand in my eyes
Although it makes sense, it feels painful and irritating
Maybe I was meant to be left behind
Perhaps I was meant to be left behind
