Without The Bitter, The Sweet Isn't As Sweet

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 and 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
