Dont Count On Me

You learned your lesson

And you learned it well

Don't look back don't look back

It's been a long way

Now it's hard to tell

Why you don't and never will

Talk of the days when love went away

Hold emotions at bay

Not much left of high aims

You know how it feels to go up in flames

Now you're telling yourself

Rise from the ashes a new day's dawning

What if mercy ain't blessed

Ashes to ashes the past is calling

Ashes to ashes locked out of eden

Don't count on me

For some man might heed no golden rule

Don't count on me

I'm not here to be playing your fool

You fought the good fight

And it turned out wrong

Don't look back don't look back

You asked for nothing

Now there's nothing left

And you don't ask for more

Not much left of high aims

You know how it feels to go up in flames

Now you're telling yourself

Rise from the ashes a new day's dawning

What if mercy ain'y blessed

Ashes to ashes locked out of eden

Don't count on me

For some man might heed no golden rule

Don't count on me

I'm not here to be playing your fool

The truth just does not taste too sweet

So kiss your past farewell

For live it rips you off and cheats

And leaves you with the ashes
