Sun went down, we said, “Not tonight,” We knew exactly where that road would wind. We raised our glasses, sang our vow, We toast to his ghost, where are we now? I thought of him before we left, How many nights we’d made that bet. We said we’d stop, we knew somehow, But twenty minutes later we were going out. Oh, the fall from grace, from high to low, Wings clipped fast in the afterglow. Tore me down, left me scarred, In this twisted life, love plays hard. Love plays hard. Nirvana playing, way too loud, We talked like kings above the crowd. Cigarette burns on my inner thighs, Too much to say and too much time. For a while I could see him there, Laughing like he still belonged somewhere. I almost forgot how the story ends, How good it felt when he was still my friend. Oh, the fall from grace, from high to low, Wings clipped fast in the afterglow. Tore me down, left me scarred, In this twisted life, love plays hard. Love plays hard. Blood from my nose, wiped on my sleeve, Nobody wanted to be first to leave. Keys in my hand, we took the car, Almost rolled it trying to get too far. We did a lot of shit just to please us, Like lines off a Bible, forgive me Jesus. For a minute, God knows, we believed There was nothing in this world we couldn’t be. Oh, the fall from grace, from high to low, God only knows how far we’d go. Tore me down, left me scarred, In this twisted life, love plays hard. I hope somehow he’d still be proud, Even after nights like this one now.. Some nights I swear he’s in the room, Too young, too high, too gone, too soon. Love plays hard. Love plays hard. Love plays hard.
