Lyrics
Elyse
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.
Let's talk over coffee
We'll head for the hills
We can love one another
And forget what we killed
We'll hope there's no god
And if there is it's too late
But i'm sure as we're dying
We'll ask to be saved
And that's how it goes
When you've made mistakes
Like i've made
We'll run from our problems
We won't tell our mothers
We'll pretend our whole lives
Have been devoted to others
Maybe i'll be famous
And still call you honey
Or live on the street
Begging for money
Either way my depression
It won't go away
What's so good about a prayer
Gone unanswered each day
And that's how it goes
When you've made mistakes
Like i've made
I'm going home
And i'm gonna save
So i can be with you
I'm sharing your pain
You told me there were two
And i'm gonna be sick now
I hoped you would do what i said
It's too late now
And that's how it goes
When you've made mistakes
Like i've made
And that's how it goes
When you've made mistakes
Like i've made
