Lyrics:
Verse 1:
She fires her pistol out the window
She lights a cigarette
She walks the crowded streets of New York
and she walks by me.
She finds her cartoons entertaining
They make her smile.
Do I look like a man with feelings?
Alone is my style.

Chorus:
But I should have said
that I don't regret
wasting all my life for you.
But I should have bet
Through life's troughs and crests
I would still be there for you.
The world never rests
In seeking us dead
But I love you.

Verse 2:
I know that man can't walk the sky
And turn clouds into a paradise.
But some would push and fall out of place
And that's OK.
I'm not a man of constant sorrow
But I do hope I'd see her tomorrow
I'm the plant that could never grow
Without your smile

Chorus:
But I should have said
that I don't regret
wasting all my life for you.
But I should have bet
Through life's troughs and crests
I would still be there for you.
The world never rests
In seeking us dead
But I love you.

Bridge:
You won't have to hide
You won't have to lie
Cuz I'll be your alibi
I'll be by your side
We'll disappear into the night
and vanish out of sight
To a world where there's no wrong or right.
You won't have to run
From those smoking guns...

Verse 3:
I teach her to aim for the heart
She aims for mine.
I should have shot her in the dark
Things would've been fine.
She comes on me in her pink dress
With a rigid tenderness
I fall apart cuz I know I'm not ready
And neither is she.

Chorus:
Of all that was said,
My only regret
Is not saying what I feel for you
Of all that was bled
I only see red
In not saying that I'll wait for you
But my heart was tested
By your Russian roulette
And I love you.

I'm sorry I died,
I left you there to cry
but that's not the true shape of my heart.
I'm sorry I lied,
I should have told you why
but that's not the true shape of my heart.

[omgitslogan]

did you sing out of tune and shittily on purpose?

[Jubinell]

@omgitslogan No, that's how my voice actually sounds like. Obviously not trying to win deals or anything with this. I'm just expressing my thoughts and feelings towards something I have been holding dearly in the last decade. Thanks for the comment and rating.

[jpwhits]

This is offensive.

[NoMoreThanHuman]

i think you are great and if you feel special don't let morons and retards tell you something else. all the idiots posting shitty replies probably can't get a note out. stay in the light, man!

[darkmark420]

@Jubinell it's all about aesthetics and to me the uniqueness makes up for one or two imperfect notes. actually I think the key of your voice matches the tone of the piano .

[FloppyKitten14]

Fuck you're awful, best write a new song about how you can't sing

[TrentAlkaline]

I raged at 0:48 seconds and had to stop it.
