[Verse 1] We rode out young from Verona Swearing the sky was ours to claim You chased a dream down to Milan I stayed home Spelling out her name Letters folded in my pocket Ink still wet with what I’d say Thought a friend would guard a promise Thought our hearts would find their way [Chorus] Two gentlemen One betrayal One vow tossed on the floor You called it love I called it failure How could you ask me for more? We traded trust for a moment’s fever Lost the map on the road we chose Two gentlemen One betrayal And a ring no longer on her clothes [Instrumental break] [Verse 2] You saw her first in a garden Silk and thorns around her smile Spoke my secrets like a story Just to stay with her awhile I was tied up in a forest Bandits laughing at my fall Did you hear me when I cursed you? Did your new love drown it all? [Chorus] Two gentlemen One betrayal One vow tossed on the floor You called it love I called it failure How could you ask me for more? We traded trust for a moment’s fever Lost the map on the road we chose Two gentlemen One betrayal And a ring no longer on her clothes [Bridge] She stood shaking You stood silent Every lie between us spread I could taste the old Verona All the words we’d left unsaid Do I hate you? Do I miss you? Can a wound grow into grace? When I offered you forgiveness I still felt the blade in place (oh) [Chorus] Two gentlemen One betrayal One vow tossed on the floor You called it love I called it failure Still I walked back through that door We traded blood for a broken promise Let the past wear different clothes Two gentlemen One betrayal Only time will tell what mercy knows
