lyrics

Well I'd planned to do the old thing
where I act like I'm surprised that you are leaving
and to play things up for pity
and to ask you what would ever be the reason
but lets do away with all of the pretending
and the acting like I should've been expecting
for you to really stay
yeah let's drop the act and go our separate ways

Oh I wondered through the darkness
and I couldn't hear your footsteps there beside me
and I wondered if the devil
had been lying when he said that you would find me
so the moment that I stepped into the light
I turned around to see if he'd be right
that damned eagerness of mine
and I watched you leave me for a second time

(bridge)
there was a wedding
the bride shone just as bright as the sun
and I kept on drinking
and I wondered why I thought that I should come
and I made a martyr of myself
and cowered under what I'd done
there's some mistakes where once you've made them
there's not anywhere to run

well I stepped into the dawn and then I praised the only father I could trust
and I turned on all the others, sitting in their lofty towers made of dust
then the beauties came out drunken from the woods
and they turned me too to dust the best they could
and the river Helicon turned into mud as they washed away the blood
