Well maybe if it had been another time another place
Then maybe I'd looked your way
But fate has fallen hard and only death a single card
And it's with this hand I'm forced to playI'm leaving behind all the reckless of mankind
I hate that boy I know I used to be
So careless with love, amphetamine and doves
Believing they're the key to set me freeBut just hold on
Oh my love she says it won't be long
Before the reaper comes around
And lays me ten feet in the ground
But I hope she's wrong
Oh, you stopped me from running
Then you brought me round the bend
Then you showed me what to live for darling
But that's where our story endsWell maybe if it had been another time and another place
Then maybe I'd have walked away
But you pulled me back onto the wrong side of the tracks
And bent my mind and let me astrayBut just hold on
Oh my love she says it won't be long
Before the reaper comes around
And lays me ten feet in the ground
But I hope she's wrongOh, you stopped me from running
Then you brought me round the bend
Then you showed me what to live for darling
But that's where our story ends
Well you stopped me from running
Then you brought me round the bend
Then you showed me what to live for darling
But that's no storyAnd you stopped me from running
Then you brought me round the bend
And you showed me what to live for darling
But that's where the storyYou stopped me from running
Then you brought me round the bend
And then you showed me what to live for darling
But that's where our story ends
