A pretty derivative little tune to close out the round, but this might be fun to play live. Another Lionel Sanders one-and-done on drums ...
lyrics
There’s a love that takes
all sharks and snakes
Puts that poison in your ear
Tells you what you want to hear
That trophy smile
It’ll last for miles
Makes you have to go collect it
Cuts you when you least expect it
If you want me
You can find me in the shadows
Nursing all these self-inflicted wounds
Why’d you wanna come here
Just in time to stop me trying
to sing these bitter blues
There goes my last good excuse
I can build a wall
Make myself so small
Just to make myself forget you
Make me wish I’d never met you
But I know all my lies
and how I compromise
How to justify the sinner
Just to glorify the sin
If you want me
You can find me in the shadows
Nursing all these self-inflicted wounds
Why’d you wanna come here
Just in time to stop me trying
to sing these bitter blues
There goes my last good excuse
Not this time
I won’t do it
Here I go again …
If you want me
You can find me in the shadows
Nursing all these self-inflicted wounds
Why’d you wanna come here
Just in time to stop me trying
to sing these bitter blues
There goes my last good excuse
