Slight Of Hand
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Turned a page, in my life
Thought it through, wasn't easy to do
Weighed the risks, slight of hand
If I miss, then life's not worth a damn
Too dark to see, too light, to feel
One's fate, is sealed
You're nothing but a liar
Don't try and change me
Waste of time
You'll never convince me
I'll walk away a better man
From something you don't understand
Don't try to change me
Waste my time
You'll never convince me
I'll walk away it's who I am
I don't expect you'd understand
On the list I've been made
A high risk, should have taken the fall
Odds against, won't survive
No defense, end this once and for all
Too dark to see, too light, to feel
One's fate, is sealed
You're nothing but a liar
Don't try and change me
Waste of time
You'll never convince me
I'll walk away a better man
From something you don't understand
Don't try to change me
Waste my time
You'll never convince me
I'll walk away it's who I am
I don't expect you'd understand
Let them try, all they want
Come what may, I am through
With lies, and their ways
Not the first, who has tried
Nor the last they will betray
You're nothing but a liar
Don't try and change me
Waste of time
You'll never convince me
I'll walk away a better man
From something you don't understand
Don't try to change me
Waste my time
You'll never convince me
I'll walk away it's who I am
I don't expect you'd understand
You're nothing but a liar
Don't try and change me
Waste of time
You'll never convince me
I'll walk away a better man
From something you don't understand
Don't try to change me
Waste my time
You'll never convince me
I'll walk away it's who I am
I don't expect you'd understand
