Joe Firstman - Rest My Case lyrics

A palace for the princess of pretension A garden that we never should have shared The castle walls are falling all around us The sound of sadness sober in the air Could you see what I could see When I let you fall for me The nights were full of graveyard shifts The towns that I was going to And the dollars burn holes in my pockets But what good's the money if I can't spend it on you And I will rest my case when you divorce me Love ain't what it seems to be And I would call your name and you'd ignore me Love ain't what it used to be But it used to be This is more than what we bargained for I wonder why we ever had to meet It turns out that our reception Was just a place for the in-crowd To have somewhere to drink And I will rest my case when you divorce me Love ain't what it seems to be And I would call your name and you'd ignore me Love ain't what it used to be But it used to be I'd have covered you my lover You would never, ever bleed I'd have bought you all the glory too If that is what you need The odds were just against us And I'm so tired of the lies I will rest my case when you divorce me Love ain't what seems to be I could call your name and you'd ignore me 'Cause love ain't what it used to be But it used to be
