Without the Bitter the Sweet Isn't as Sweet - Mayday Parade

We used to be something surreal

Others looked to us for what we built

We were envied until the point, the point in which we fell

We fell by the wayside, and slowly watched ourselves die

A lonely death in which no one cared and no one came

When the walls cave in, we only have ourselves to blame

And even if it's dark at least we'll be together

Slowly sinking in the earth to lay forever

You better grab a hold and hold on for your life

Because you don't get lucky twice

Now even if it's perfect, I can't get carried away

And motivate my tongue in twisted ways

It felt like a good night, for dancing in the moonlight

In empty streets, well, everybody's got a reason why

If we could only just get it right

Maybe it will all work out like in the movies

But I know Romeo must die before the ending

With a final poison kiss delivered gently

Because you don't get lucky twice, and that's the truth

Sing to me sweet, just like my memory

If New York City still moves me then I found something real

I'll be okay, I could go on for days

But I just don't have the courage that it takes to be real

And even if it's dark at least we'll be together

Slowly sinking in the earth to lay forever

You better grab a hold and hold on for your life

Because you don't get lucky twice

No, you don't get lucky twice
