I've been a cold-hearted man I've been the stone-cold killer You've been the good-hearted girl You've been the constant forgiver I've been frayed at the ends I nearly drowned in the river And I was busted up But you can trust my love Did I smoke you like a cigarette Flick the ashes to the ground and then soon forget Did I drink you like alcohol Push you hard to the limit then destroy it all Did I treat you like a summer day Get my kicks, get what I wanted then just fade away Did I treat you like I knew I should How could I be so reckless with a love so good Been dry for a while I've been thinking a little clearer You've been cracking a smile You've been inching a little nearer I've been honest with you I can look in the mirror And I can trust my love And you can trust my love Did I play you like a poker game Bet the house on the joker and the queen of spades Did I wreck you like a cannonball Did I knock down the castle just to watch it fall Did I drain you like an hourglass Watch it crumble to the bottom while the time flew past Did I treat you like I knew I should How could I be so reckless with a love so good Did I cut you like a kitchen knife Kill the one thing that mattered to me in my life If I said that I was better now Would you open up your heart and try to hear me out If I really treat you like I should Could I be so reckless with a love so good Never be so reckless with a love so good
