lyrics

everything must fail at once.
-------------------------------------

First you take the roses, then you take the blame, and soon you find yourself in debt again.
I know you know what I'm saying. Why do you look at me that way?

Oh, there's another taste that I can hardly take.
A jump into this lonely lake, and I feel something slipping.

You march along while I stand in shame.
What did you think would happen if we played this silly game?
I tried to tell you something was wrong from the beginning.

I can only do what I can do.
Why can't that be enough for you?

You turn over a new card, a new deck, a new day,
and put something else into play, before they change your mind.

Oh, I empty my pockets and hit the floor.
I'll toss you the keys as you shut the door, and I feel something slipping.

I insisted on believing in the perfect idea, the original sin,
but I have played my hand and the game was rigged from the beginning.

I can only do what I can do.
Why can't that be enough for you?

Everything I wanted.
Everything I wanted.
Everything I wanted has gone away.

I can only do what I can do.
Why can't that be enough for you?

Everything I wanted.
Everything I wanted.
Everything I wanted has gone away.
