Blue moon out my window, guess this means goodnight And you come in and start right in not treating me right Misery's a ball and all its company I'll play the victim for you honey, but not for free I run into that heartache just like a wall And act like nothing happened to me, nothing at all Lately I'm amazed at how blind we can be Lately even dreaming feels like old reality What would I give to be a diamond in your eyes again What would I give to bring back those old times What did I say to make your cold heart bleed this way Maybe I'll just go away today I don't care who's waiting at my front door You know that life don't hold no glamour anymore Oh, how can it all look so right and feel so wrong I'll play the victim for you honey but not for long What would I give to be a diamond in your eyes again What would I give to bring back those old times What did I say to make your past turn up this way Maybe I'll just go away today Maybe I'll just go away Maybe I'll just go away Maybe I'll just go away to stay Maybe I'll just go away Maybe I'll just go away Maybe I'll just go away
