Lyrics

Is it wrong for me to say

That love is a cautionary tale?

‘Let’s try’ is your reply

‘Though love can always fail’

Do we want too much?

Do we give too much?

Do we have a choice at all?

Even when you’re gone

You’re my everywhere

You’re in every singer’s song

Blinded by

smoke and lies

Love and loss

Dangerous game

So beautifully played

Beautifully played

Do we want too much?

Do we give too much?

Do we have a choice at all?

Even when you’re gone

You’re my everywhere

You’re in every singer’s song

Do we want too much?

Do we give too much?

Do we have a choice at all?

Will we come unstuck

Is it love or just

One more leap before the fall
