The Fortuneteller

I went to a fortuneteller
She told me my luck gets better
But I don't think she told the truth somehow
Cause she said that we'd end up together
But how can something that costs a tenner
Know how my life's going to work out
But I don't waste the truth
On her and not with you

She said we'd have a happy life
If you weren't a Gemini
And if I was a little less self-obsessed
She read the lines across my palm
And saw the tattoo on my arm
And said it seems you have a few regrets
And maybe that's the truth
But none of them are you

I didn't like how fast I drove
Staring at death on the wrong side of the road
Wondering if you'd ever love me

I wanna know,
I wanna know
What it feels like
Lowered slow
Six-feet below
In the graveyard
My mother's eyes
Saw the signs
She's always first to know
She said son
You've done your best
It's time to let her go
But I took those pills
To try and fill
The parts you wouldn't love
I'll tell my son
To not look up
To me when he grows
So if you go
And fall in love
I don't want to know
Cause I swore to God
If it's not with you
I'd rather die alone
I close my eye's
I took a breath
And I count ten
I ring up John
I said I'm sorry
I've done it again
Now I'm on the edge
Of Coolroe West
My hearts in my hands
I'd love to call
But I swore
To be a better man

I didn't like how fast I drove
Staring at death on the wrong side of the road
Wondering if you'd ever love me
