lyrics

Cold water, please don't drink the water
And I will surely lose some sleep if I don't swim ashore
Her dress was tipped with red to blind the soldiers that she led
And they won't find the antidote by walking in the dark

Just one more glass you take from me, is that all you're asking?
One more and now it's empty
You'd shoot the stars out of her eyes
And she will hunt you down until you die

You'd burst the clouds to make me stop
She'll knock the walls to find you
No other way is there to know when she's behind you
The lion's den is empty now
Too many words to swallow
This sucked the life out from the hills 'til they were left all hollow

How much more can you take from me before I'm empty?
One more and it's all over
You'd shoot the stars out of the sky
And you will chase the storm until you die

Smooth now, not like it was before
But it's not like it mattered
I was never the girl that she could be
All she wanted to be was in your pocked
She said you can look back but just
Don't look down
