Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Only a fool would step away from this
The song so sweet on the siren's lips
How do you lie straight with a viper's tongue?
I'm at a loss to explain
Just how easy you found me to replace
Now that the naked truth is out on display
[Verse 2]
Could you explain, why did you gravitate?
To something about to break?
Take what you need to take
Just silently walk away
How could you be so reckless?
Could you explain, how could you be so reckless?
[Verse 3]
Three time lucky, you might've been
See, and speak, and hear no evil
Guess I thought I could just keep stumbling back in
I'm at a loss to explain
Just how easy you found me to replace
We were free falling out into nothing anyway
[Verse 4]
Could you explain, why did you gravitate?
To something about to break?
Take what you need to take
Just silently walk away
How could you be so reckless?
Could you explain, how could you be so reckless?
[Verse 5]
Could you explain, how could you be so reckless?
Three time lucky, you might've been
How could you be so reckless?
Only a fool would step away from this
How could you be so reckless?
We were free falling out into nothing anyway
