about

A reimagined version of the original from Dance Till We Die (2020). This time acoustic and hybrid live/studio.

lyrics

I was a sucker for her perfume

And the mental lenses that she looked through

We made love under a full moon

In the football field by my old high school

She said, "it's funny how life be

Just a collection of our life stories"

I said, "I see what you mean"

She said, "when you see me, what kind of character would I be?"

I said, "girl, you're the hero

Anybody give you shit you take zero

Me, I'm the bandit robbing your train

Thinking you can make a killing as a villain these days"

She said, "are you gonna leave me, break my heart?"

I said, "maybe." I said, "maybe"

"Are you gonna leave me, break my heart?"

I said, "maybe." She said, "babe"

Please don't leave me lonely, wait, wait, stay

Please don't leave me lonely, wait, wait, stay

Please don't leave me lonely

You can make a killing as a villain these days

Life gave us lemons, so we made lemonade

And we spiked that shit with vodka and gin

And drank it till our bellies ached

And we would laugh while we made love

And lately that's all I've been thinking of

True, I had other lovers just in case

Thinking you could make a killing as a villain these days

And love is free, but it'll get up and leave if you don't communicate

I said, "are you gonna leave me, break my heart?"

She said, "maybe." She said, "maybe"

"Are you gonna leave me, break my heart?"

She said, "maybe." I said, "babe"

Please don't leave me lonely, wait, wait, stay

Please don't leave me lonely, wait, wait, stay

Please don't leave me lonely, wait, wait

Please don't leave me lonely

You can make a killing as a villain these days

Are you gonna leave me?

Break my heart

Are you gonna leave me

Break my heart

Please don't leave me lonely, wait, wait, stay

Please don't leave me lonely, wait, wait, stay

Please don't leave me lonely

You can make a killing

Ay
