Ron Pope Heartfelt Lies song lyrics

I walk by the rivers edge

Skipping smooth wet stones

And watching them sink

I never was a fan of innocence

I've got two black eyes

And an empty fifth of gin

And I see I'm wrong for you

But we tried

You swear I'm hard to lay beside

If I was you I'd run from me most nights

Maybe I was meant to be left behind

Thundering circumstances

Beyond our control rumble in

Counting time by the lines 'round your eyes

As your gentle caress helps me forget

And I think it's time to say good night

And you swear I'm hard to lay beside

Now years seem to pass as we blink our eyes

Maybe I was meant to be left behind

By all of our heartfelt lies

All of our heartfelt lies

All of our heartfelt lies

Are not enough this time

And I see I'd love to spend the night

But you found someone else to lay beside

And I know it makes sense

But it's like sand in my eyes

Maybe I was meant to be left behind
