NINA GORDON - Bones And A Name lyrics

rate me

Rolling through the canyon blasting heartbreaker

I see your famous face riding next to me

We smile at each other 'cause we know we know each other

But damn if I'm going to talk to you again

I always thought that you were funny

I always thought we could be friends

But the way you treated her in the end...

All the horses and all the men

Couldn't bring her back again

We tried so hard

We couldn't save her day

All the millions and billions

Of stars that shine into her eyes

Are barely bright enough to light her way

So she covered herself with sorrow and shame

And smoke and mirrors and fame

And fake love, angry love, bad love, and sad love

And damn if I didn't almost do the same

And now sometimes I think I see her

And I can almost hear her cry

I hear those chilling words she chose to say goodbye

All the horses and all the men

Couldn't bring her back again

We tried so hard

We couldn't save her day

All the millions and billions

Of stars that shine into her eyes

Are barely bright enough to light her way

He was predictable, cliche, and cruel to you

He made it ugly, and he made it high-school

He said I love you, I need you, I want you, I'll feed you

I get you, I've got you, I'll catch you and I'll keep you

My sweet, you will never be sad again

He said my sweet, you will never be sad again

All the horses and all the men

Couldn't bring her back again

We tried so hard

We couldn't save her day

All the millions and billions

Of stars that shine into her eyes

I swear sometimes I can almost hear her say

We're just bones and a name

We all go out the way we came

So don't you try to tell me that love is all we need
