I've never been much of a risk taker.
Sometimes I wish that I'd had.
And now there's more stacked up behind me
Than possibilities that lie ahead.
It's so hard now to look back and not be flooded with regret.
The truths I never told,
The things I'll never really know,
Outnumber all the things I did.
I've never been much of a storyteller.
What's the point? They always end the same.
However hard they try, the characters all die.
All they do is rearrange their names.
We're all players in this fairy tale penned by that sadistic man above.
Well, he ran me into you,
There was nothin' you or I could do.
Now we've been cursed with this love.
Oh, I've read all the stories,
And I've heard every sad song.
Yes, I know and I understand,
But that don't make this any less hard.
I said that don't make this any less hard.
I've never been too good at patience.
It's hard sometimes to let things just unfold.
I always end up crushing everything I love,
And nothing gets a chance to grow old.
Now I've gone and smothered you.
How can I redeem myself, my love?
Just give me one more chance, one more kiss, one more dance.
You're my family, you're my blood.
Just gimme one more chance, one more kiss, one more dance,
'Cause you're my family, you're my blood.
'Cause you're my family, you're my blood.
