Lyrics
I gave him half a chance
I guess he needed more
He thought he knew everything
I thought he knew the score
and in his search for love,this was just another place
a complicated game another pretty face
finding the universe goes 'round
(CHORUS)
love is the reason
love pulls him through
and he, just won't believe it
but he knows its true
He takes another chance
by walking out the door
I didn't take a stance
I didn't want to be ignored
In many heavy words his questions become framed
now tell me what is love? and what is this human race?
and then another drink goes down..
(CHORUS)
God knows I could have done more
God knows he should have listened
with hearts upon our sleeves
the flow of life is hard
the faint beating in the distance
it don't get you very far
you bleed on everyone and everything you touch
but you won't see the doctor 'cuase its asking just to much
so you go another round
(CHORUS)
