Waterloo

I was at a red light the day I met you
Every new start ain't always morning dew
Love was standing on the wrong side at Waterloo
And then there's just me and
There's just you
Mmmm, Mmmm

You worked so hard, your fingers to the bone
To keep things from coming unglued
I was holding my mistakes and your loss of face
So much goddamn gravel in my shoes
You were never to blame that I was a ghost
Haunting all your precious time
You are so much more than one foot out the door
Words stuck in my throat like a knife

You had a hold of me
While I had the holes inside
Wasn't your enemy but I
Surely passed for one
And its never no ones fault
But this time its all mine

I was at a red light the day I met you
Every new start ain't always morning dew
You were standing on the wrong side at Waterloo
No chance for us to make it strangling on the blues
And then there's just me and
There's just you

Left the battle
Lost my only
Left the battle
Hearts so lonely

Convinced you to stay, I had the whole play
Written out like it was meant to be right
Tried to turn the page even tore it away
Returned, stamped, ink in my eye

And I, I wanted to be a better man
Doing everything like I planned
Our crystal roses wilting in every hand

I was at a red light the day I met you
Every new start ain't always morning dew
You were standing on the wrong side at Waterloo
No chance for us to make it strangling on the blues
And then there's just me and
There's just you

Left the battle
Lost my only
Left the battle
Hearts so lonely
Left the battle
Lost my only
I was at a red light the day I met you
I was at a red light the day I met you
I was at a red light the day I met you
