dominoes

by brendan philip mccusker

verse

i stopped counting the miles

and forgot what you said

i was hoping we were different

but it went to your head

dropped back into style

but it’s still in the red

no one said it would be easy

hanging on by a thread

pre

hold on

cause the tide’s a little higher

than it used to be

and the truth won’t set you free (and it turns out the joke’s on me)

chorus

i hope you know

i didn’t want to let you go

but the sun in my eyes

left me blind to the lies

while the night knocked down

the stars like dominos

verse

left out in the rain

just a fair weather friend

i was hoping we’d be different

but you always pretend

weak link in the chain

stuck inside of a trend

was i ever something more

than a means to an end
