Lyrics
Title: Casual Affairs
Words & Music By: Rick Denzien
bpm 120
Em
Alone in the dark - its cold here tense stark
Hear them crying
Raw and bleeding - desperately needing
I think he's dying
Overnight friends - And morning pretends
We're not loosing
But just like a game - it always the same
Things we're choosing
Chorus:
Well I thought it over once or twice
Someday we're gonna pay a heavy / endless / wasted / crazy price
For Casual Affairs
Mistakes from the past - live on they out last
Deadly living
Just like a charm - can't raise the alarm
I keep forgetting
Chorus:
Bridge:
Buried that way - forfeit demanding -
Concealed down here - no one's left standing
I don't want you just for a moment
I can give you happiness
Come with me we'll live forever
I can fill your emptiness
Dark loneliness
Surrounded by walls - rising beyond tall
No use hiding
I may try and repay but never today
I am lying; lying oh I'm lying - lying
Chorus:
