Tears for Two
Dwight Yoakam · South of Heaven, West of Hell [Reprise] [2001]
Luck found me too late to be what I could use
And caught me tempting fate still red-handed and confused
Pride has sent me where there's not much left to lose
The cruelly let me care and convinced me I could chose.
About you, as if there was one small chance
To be through with everything I can't
So even if this worn out heart was new
And all it's foolish hopes were true
This one lifetime just won't do
'Cause I've cried enough tears for two.
Dreaming only served to take my restless sleep
Stealing comfort from these eyes so desperate for relief
Fueled by empty promises they never meant to keep
Leaving me with nothing more than endless years to weep.
About you, as if there was one small chance
To be through with everything I can't
So even if this worn out heart was new
And all it's foolish hopes were true
This one lifetime just won't do
'Cause I've cried enough tears for two.
