aces

Well my old friend said to me
I ain’t being what I’m supposed to be
Well I don’t know, it could be true
I know I wasn’t always there for you

Now you’re ready to walk out,
You’re ready to run
Talk to me, can’t you see
I would never want to do what it seems I’ve done
You can’t deal me the aces and think I wouldn’t play
Don’t let this be the reason you would walk away

The things you think that I should do
I’ve never understood that part of you
You know I’ve tried to be a friend
But you feel undermined and hurt again

Now don’t let it convince you,
Please don’t take it to heart
Compromise and realize
You can never really run everything you start

You can’t deal me the aces and think I wouldn’t play
Don’t let this be the reason you would walk away

And I guess I said I couldn’t see
How things could turn out like they’ve come to be
And if I lied, and if I knew
I was only trying to think of you

Now you’re ready to walk out,
You’re ready to run
Talk to me, can’t you see
I would never want to do what it seems I’ve done
You can’t deal me the aces and think I wouldn’t play
Don’t let this be the reason you would walk away

If you save yourself for marriage,
You’re a bore.
If you don’t save yourself for marriage,
You’re a horr-ible person
If you won’t have a drink,
Then you’re a prude;
But they’ll call you a drunk
As soon as you down the first one.

If you can’t lose the weight,
Then you’re just fat
But if you lose too much,
Then you’re on crack
You’re damned if you do,
And you’re damned if you don’t
So you might as well just do,
Whatever you want
So…

Make lots of noise
And kiss lots of boys,
Or kiss lots of girls
If that’s something you’re into.
When the straight and narrow
Gets a little too straight
Roll up a joint, or don’t,
Just follow your arrow
Wherever it points, yeah
Follow your arrow
Wherever it points

If you don’t go to church,
You’ll go to hell.
If you’re the first one
On the front row,
You’re self-righteous
Son of a …
Can’t win for losing,
You just disappoint ’em,
Just ’cause you can’t beat ’em,
Don’t mean you should join ’em

So make lots of noise
And kiss lots of boys,
Or kiss lots of girls
If that’s something you’re into.
When the straight and narrow
Gets a little too straight
Roll up a joint, or don’t,
Just follow your arrow
Wherever it points, yeah
Follow your arrow
Wherever it points

Say what you think,
Love who you love,
‘Cause you just get
So many trips ’round the sun
Yeah, you only, only live once

So make lots of noise
And kiss lots of boys,
Or kiss lots of girls
If that’s something you’re into.
When the straight and narrow
Gets a little too straight
Roll up a joint – I would –
And follow your arrow
Wherever it points, yeah
Follow your arrow
Wherever it points

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did, you fell so hard
I’ve learned the hard way, to never let it get that far

Because of you,
I’ll never stray too far from the sidewalk.
Because of you,
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don’t get hurt.
Because of you,
I find it hard to trust,
Not only me, but everyone around me.
Because of you,
I am afraid

I lose my way and it’s not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry, because I know that’s weakness in your eyes
I’m forced to fake, a smile, a laugh every day of my life
My heart can’t possibly break when it wasn’t even whole to start with

Because of you,
I’ll never stray too far from the sidewalk.
Because of you,
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don’t get hurt.
Because of you,
I find it hard to trust,
Not only me, but everyone around me.
Because of you,
I am afraid.

I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known
Better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you,
I’ll never stray too far from the sidewalk.
Because of you,
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don’t get hurt.
Because of you,
I tried my hardest just to forget everything.
Because of you,
I don’t know how to let anyone else in.
Because of you,
I’m ashamed of my life because it’s empty.
Because of you,
I am afraid.

Because of you
Because of you
