The sky is grey and lonely Only grackles sing All the words you used to say Didn't mean a thing Weeds grow on the crossing The bell no longer rings Off in the distance An engine rumbling I leave my pennies on the track Hoping you'd come back It's not a wishing well Full of truth and lies we tell Love is not a game I'm not keeping score And you're a train that doesn't run through my heart no more I should have known the story The whistle told the tale A man like you spends his life Roving down the rail At night the air is cooler I don't miss you like I did Somehow all these years You kept your secrets hid I leave my pennies on the track Hoping you'd come back It's not a wishing well Full of truth and lies we tell Love is not a game I'm not keeping score And you're a train that doesn't run through my heart no more You can't stop the wheels from turning And a heart's not yours to own Loving you is what taught me How to be alone Santa Fe is calling Echoes in the sand Cleanse myself of you Down by the Rio Grande I left my pennies on the track You're not coming back It's not a wishing well Full of truth and lies we tell Love is not a game I'm not keeping score And you're a train that doesn't run through my heart no more

You choose your words so carefully I can tell you’re well-rehearsed It sounds so strange when you say my name And that ain’t my lipstick on your shirt Today I found your wedding ring In the pocket of your pants If she knew you the way i do You wouldn’t stand a chance You lie, lie, lie A little more each day Tell me why, why, why I should believe a word you say I thought i made you happy But that was in the past She’s one of many that you've loved God knows she’ll be the last You lie, lie, lie A little more each day Tell me why, why, why I should believe a word you say The bible says thou shalt not kill Two wrongs don’t make it right But what you've done I can’t forgive So I'll pray for you tonight I know she’s going to miss you Don’t think I’ll feel the same Where you’re going it won’t matter. You've got yourself to blame I'm gonna lie, lie, lie When the sheriff comes around They'll try, try, try No evidence to be found You're gonna lie lie lie Six feet under ground I won’t cry, cry. cry When they lay your body down

I caught you looking at me From across that room Like the fires of Pompeii The air began to burn Your eyes met mine, They're the brightest blue So crystalline And the next thing I knew Chorus There's a million reasons this should work Unless we're buried in ashes You're not him and I can't replace her So there's a likelihood we'll both get hurt There's a likelihood we'll both get burned We should walk away Just walk away We were dancing in circles While the band played on Like two constellations Trying to outrun the sun When we finally met And it all fell away Like time stood still My heart wanted to stay Chorus Between shots of tequila And the stories you told We're courting with disaster If one of us should fold Now it's 2am And time to go home Maybe its for the best If we pretend we never met? Chorus
