Yeah, having been by that old bank tower
inclined to wonder
why you feel so strong
you can't have really seen the hour
if you think she's trying to do you wrong
I see you got that lump in your throat
I hear you mumbling, "That's all she wrote"
love is in the next room drinking antidote

(refrão)
You ought to know that girl by now
she'll never settle down anyhow
you let your heart go too fast (2x)

Broken glass turns back to flint and sand
I only cease to love as love demands
as you know it takes a while to clap those
fragments from your idle hands
couple months could dry a sea of tears
leave only salt beneath our dried up piers
we won't believe we cared, I swear
in a couple years

(repete refrão)

If time heals all wounds
don't you know that time also deals them
the days go by and not everybody feels them
we struggle with our fates
but our action only seals them

They say that murder ain't the fault of the weapon
I'm smoking sad to be the gun
I want to blow you all away
but I don't want to put no bullets into anyone
I see the feathers that infringe your heart
I see the blood ooze from around the dart
Cupid spites the sense
that keeps two mismatched souls apart

(repete refrão)

You ought to know that girl by now
she'll never turn you down anyhow
you let your heart go too fast (6x)
