You learned your lesson |
|
And you learned it well |
|
Don't look back don't look back |
|
It's been a long way |
|
Now it's hard to tell |
|
Why you don't and never will |
|
Talk of the days when love went away |
|
Hold emotions at bay |
|
Not much left of high aims |
|
You know how it feels to go up in flames |
|
Now you're telling yourself |
|
Rise from the ashes a new day's dawning |
|
What if mercy ain't blessed |
|
Ashes to ashes the past is calling |
|
Ashes to ashes locked out of eden |
|
Don't count on me |
|
For some man might heed no golden rule |
|
Don't count on me |
|
I'm not here to be playing your fool |
|
You fought the good fight |
|
And it turned out wrong |
|
Don't look back don't look back |
|
You asked for nothing |
|
Now there's nothing left |
|
And you don't ask for more |
|
Not much left of high aims |
|
You know how it feels to go up in flames |
|
Now you're telling yourself |
|
Rise from the ashes a new day's dawning |
|
What if mercy ain'y blessed |
|
Ashes to ashes locked out of eden |
|
Don't count on me |
|
For some man might heed no golden rule |
|
Don't count on me |
|
I'm not here to be playing your fool |
|
The truth just does not taste too sweet |
|
So kiss your past farewell |
|
For live it rips you off and cheats |
|
And leaves you with the ashes |
