I bet on you and I lost.

I guess I should have known that this would happen eventually That I'd finally find out how much is too much faith in you and me

I told you that I thought you'd never hurt me. I didn't know you'd take it as a challenge to prove me wrong.

"We'll both be foolish," I said, "and vicious and cruel. We will never be safe with each other." "Don't try too hard to be cheerful." His fingers threaded through mine. "But we'll pretend we know how to love." I smiled at him. "And someday we'll learn."

We fell until we had been falling forever and always, and always would continue falling, because nothing existed outside this chaos of fire and shadow. But I held on to him. And he held on to me.

Time unwound. Priced were unpaid. The world changed.

I sit by my window and I watch the cars I fear I'll do some damage one fine day But I will not be convicted by a jury of my peers... Still crazy after all these years

I met my old lover on the street last night He seemed so glad to see me I just smiled

I'm more than what you made of me I follow the voice you think you gave to me

It was a big, big world but we though we were bigger.

I am a dead man walking Drowning while breathing in the water Lost in my own head I am a catastrophic collection of contradictions
