Alameda - Alternative Version

You walk down Alameda
 Shuffling your deck of trick cards over everyone
 Like some precious only son
 Face down, bow to the champion
 You walk down Alameda
 Looking at the cracks in the sidewalk
 Thinking about your friends
 How you maintain all them in
 A constant state of suspense
 For your own protection over their affection
 And nobody broke your heart
 You broke your own
 'Cause you can't finish what you start
 Walk down Alameda
 Brushing off the nightmares you wish
 Plague me when I'm awake
 And now you see your first mistake
 Was thinking that you could relate
 For one or two minutes she liked you
 But the fix is in
 You're all pretension
 I never pay attention
 Nobody broke your heart
 You broke your own
 'Cause you can't finish what you start
 Nobody broke your heart
 You broke your own
 'Cause you can't finish what you start
 Nobody broke your heart
 You broke your own
 'Cause you can't finish what you start
 Nobody broke your heart
 If you're alone it must be you
 That wants to be apart
