about

this is the song that makes you fall in love again

lyrics

Heartbreaker, baby dream taker
Oh you held it all in your hand
You in your mighty crown – your crown is falling down
you’re standing there looking to me like an ordinary man
I was a dreamer, was a dreamer before
But now all my dreams are gone and crashed to the floor
I got nothing for you, nothing left to say
So just let me get my records and I’ll be on my way
Numb that heartache, make it vodka tonic
If I don’t get the man it was the trouble I wanted
Now you know why I’m throwing it all away…..
You had the world at your feet
But you’re just gonna sleep on it all
(keep running, trouble keep coming)
Come on, I gotta get out of here
I need someone who will take me on
(Keep running, trouble follow you where ever you go…)
You told me baby, oh all my intentions are good
If we both playing fair, maybe nobody gets hurt
And I’m just sitting back, sipping my wine
Moaning and groaning how I know you could if only baby you tried
Tell me again what you tattooed to your arm
How you and me we both have a thing for the same song
A Hallelujah chorus and one hell of a beat
The deepest darkest hardest lyrics you unwilling to speak, oh…
You had the world at your feet
But you’re just gonna sleep on it all
(keep running, trouble keep coming)
Come on, I gotta get out of here
I need someone who will take me on
(Keep running, trouble follow you where ever you go…)
You say I’m broken but I like me this way
You and your kisses never fix anything anyway
I get my freedom by the barrel and my love by the case
All my well-wishers tell me I’m insane
My teeth are made of diamonds, my tears are champagne
My heart is golden and my breath intoxicates
You know I am invincible, I’m pride without the fall
I do my best, forget the rest, I walk I never crawl
I only gotta little bit of time here ’til my drummer wants to play
So you better better get it while you can, before I start running away….
You had the world at your feet
But you’re just gonna sleep on it all
(keep running, trouble keep coming)
Come on, I gotta get out of here
I need someone who will take me on
(Keep running, trouble follow you where ever you go…)
Come on, I gotta get out of here
I need someone who will take me on
(Keep running, trouble follow you where ever you go…)
Come on, I gotta get out of here
I need someone who will take me on
(Keep running, trouble follow you where ever you go…)
