River Runs Dry

[Verse 1]
I didn't want to see it in this way
I didn't want to see the day I'd say these words to you
I didn't want to have to explain
Sometimes heroes have to lose
It's killing me to see you cry
Would it make it any better if I told you I did it all for you

[Pre-Chorus 1]
It was just another roll of the dice
Just another star in the sky
Tried to touch it but I couldn't fly

[Chorus]
Everybody knows the promise of the river
Everybody goes with the fire in their eyes
Everybody knows you can lead a horse to water
But there's nothing anybody can do when the rivers run dry

[Verse 2]
Going to have to go away
I always told you that a man has got to face his own mistakes

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Sometimes you get a lucky break
Sometimes your winning streak will stay
Sometimes you got to pay

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Oh, I remember when the rivers ran high
Oh, we could make it to the other side
Make it to the other side

[Chorus]
