I once fell for a girl
With flax in her hair
With eyes of blue
And a face so fair
A dance of glances
And smiles of demure
For never did I see a heart so pure
The tides of time swept my chance away
And my brightest world returned to grey
I was once sweet on a girl
Of auburn red
Listening raptly
To every word she said
Witty and wild
With a host of freckles on her nose
Thorns twist in'
As I was not the man she chose
Oh, lessons never really learned
So who am I to teach?
Oh, heart on your sleeve it only makes you bleed
So cover up, cover up
Oh, lived a boy might as well die a man
Try all you can, all you can
Forever pretender
It seems you've done wrong
Breaking up your vows
And breaking into song
You told the flaxen girl you'd always care
And you told the auburn girl you'd always be there
Where are they now?
Oh, a thousand words spoken out
But none of them meant
Oh, living in a drunken fairytale
How much values bent?
Oh, how easy it can be to dream
So stay awake, stay awake
Stay awake
Forever pretender
It seems you've done wrong
Breaking up your vows
And breaking into song
You told the flaxen girl you'd always care
And you told the auburn girl you'd always be there
Where are they now?
Will the swallows still fly south for the winter?
The trees turn to russet and gold?
Cause this ain't love its an idea
And I gotta pay for all these lies I've told
Rugged and wild like the waves of the sea
With mismatched eyes to match
Both you and me
Tell me how it feels to be so free?
An feiceann tú me? Mar feicim thú
I'm ending this for me but mainly for you
Cause a snake can't stop just biting
And a fighter can't stop fighting
And nothing sails as sweet as love to be
And nothing sinks like tragedy
Abashed and bruised
The heart will cease to beat
Deject emotion and the let the feeling fleet
So forever pretender
It seems you've done wrong
Breaking up your vows
And breaking into song
You told the flaxen girl you'd always care
You told the auburn girl you'd be there
Where are they now?
Where are you now?
