Aces

My old friend said to me
That ain't being what I'm supposed to be
Well I don't know, could be true
I know I wasn't always there for you

And now you're ready to walk out
You're ready to run
Talk to me, can't you see
I would never wanna do what it seems I've done
You can't deal me the aces and think I wouldn't play
Don't let this be the reason you would walk away

The things you think I should do
I've never understood that part of you
You know I've tried to be a friend
But you feel undermined and hurt again
Now, don't let it convince you
Please don't take it to heart
Compromise and realize
You can never really run everything you start

You can't deal me the aces and think I wouldn't play
Don't let this be the reason you would walk away

And I guess I said I couldn't see
How things could turn out like they've come to be
And if I lied, and if I knew
I was only trying to think of you

And now you're ready to walk out
You're ready to run
Talk to me, can't you see
I would never wanna do what it seems I've done
You can't deal me the aces and think I wouldn't play
Don't let this be the reason you would walk away
Don't let this be the reason you would walk away
