Heartfelt Lies

I walk by the rivers edge
 Skipping smooth wet stones
 And watching them sink
 I never was a fan of innocence
 I've got two black eyes
 And an empty fifth of gin
 And I see I'm wrong for you
 But we tried
 You swear I'm hard to lay beside
 If I was you I'd run from me most nights
 Maybe I was meant to be left behind
 Thundering circumstances
 Beyond our control rumble in
 Counting time by the lines 'round your eyes
 As your gentle caress helps me forget
 And I think it's time to say good night
 And you swear I'm hard to lay beside
 Now years seem to pass as we blink our eyes
 Maybe I was meant to be left behind
 By all of our heartfelt lies
 All of our heartfelt lies
 All of our heartfelt lies
 Are not enough this time
 And I see I'd love to spend the night
 But you found someone else to lay beside
 And I know it makes sense
 But it's like sand in my eyes
 Maybe I was meant to be left behind
