"Aces"
Well, my old friend said to me
That I ain’t being what I’m supposed to be
Well, I don’t know, it could be true
I know I wasn’t always there for you
And you’re ready to walk out, you’re ready to run
Talk to me, can’t you see
I would never want to what it seems I’ve done
You can’t deal me the aces and think I wouldn’t play
Don’t let this be the reason you would walk away
The things you think I should do
I’ve never understood that part of you
You know I’ve tried to be a friend
But you feel undermined and hurt again
Now, don’t let it convince you
Please don’t take it to heart
Compromise and realize,
You can never really run everything you start
You can’t deal me the aces and think I wouldn’t play
Don’t let this be the reason you would walk away
And I guess I said I couldn’t see
How things could turn out like they’ve come to be
And if I lied, and if I knew
Well, I was only trying to think of you
And you’re ready to walk out, you’re ready to run
Talk to me, can’t you see
I would never want to what it seems I’ve done
You can’t deal me the aces and think I wouldn’t play
Don’t let this be the reason you would walk away
Don’t let this be the reason you would walk away
