Well maybe if it had been another time another place Then maybe I'd looked your way But fate has fallen hard and only d**h a single card And it's with this hand I'm forced to play I'm leaving behind all the reckless of mankind I hate that boy I know I used to be So careless with love, amphetamine and doves Believing they're the key to set me free But just hold on Oh my love she says it won't be long Before the reaper comes around And lays me ten feet in the ground But I hope she's wrong Oh, you stopped me from running Then you brought me round the bend Then you showed me what to live for darling But that's where our story ends Well maybe if it had been another time and another place Then maybe I'd have walked away But you pulled me back onto the wrong side of the tracks And bent my mind and let me astray But just hold on Oh my love she says it won't be long Before the reaper comes around And lays me ten feet in the ground But I hope she's wrong Oh, you stopped me from running Then you brought me round the bend Then you showed me what to live for darling But that's where our story ends Well you stopped me from running Then you brought me round the bend Then you showed me what to live for darling But that's no story And you stopped me from running Then you brought me round the bend And you showed me what to live for darling But that's where the story You stopped me from running Then you brought me round the bend And then you showed me what to live for darling But that's where our story ends
