Without the Bitter the Sweet Isn't as Sweet

We used to be something surreal
 Others looked to us for what we built
 We were envied until the point, the point in which we fell
 We fell by the wayside, and slowly watched ourselves die
 A lonely death in which no one cared and no one came
 When the walls cave in we only have ourselves to blame
 And even if it's dark at least we'll be together
 Slowly sinking in the earth to lay forever
 You better grab a hold and hold on for your life
 Because you don't get lucky twice
 Now even if it's perfect, I can't get carried away
 And motivate my tongue in twisted ways
 It felt like a good night, for dancing in the moonlight
 In empty streets, well, everybody's got a reason why
 If we could only just get it right
 Maybe it will all work out like in the movies
 But I know Romeo must die before the ending
 With a final poison kiss delivered gently
 Because you don't get lucky twice and that's the truth
 
 ♪
 Sing to me sweet, just like my memory
 If New York City still moves me then I found something real
 I'll be okay, I could go on for days
 But I just don't have the courage that it takes to be real
 And even if it's dark at least we'll be together
 Slowly sinking in the earth to lay forever
 You better grab a hold and hold on for your life
 Because you don't get lucky twice, no, you don't get lucky twice
