Tainted Shots

I could be your lonely hero
Trying to catch your eyes running through my mind
Nothing I could find
No one I could be
Only loneliness and
Someone else looking back at me

I could've been much more than a hero
I could've been your warrior in times of need
Got to be more to this'
More than I've seen
To protect us from
The enemy within

I still can remember
Tainted shots of you
I miss those days
Your simple ways and wicked ways
A sentimental smile in your eyes
Why couldn't you have stayed around'
For a while

Why didn't we talk things over'
Why didn't we speak the words of truth'
So many miles ahead
We will never walk
Now the hope is gone
And we are all alone

I still can remember
Tainted shots of you
I miss those days
Your simple ways and wicked ways
A sentimental smile in your eyes
Why couldn't they have stayed around'
For a while

In a daydream I pretend, that we're together again
People waving goodbye
We fly over Montauk Long Island sky
Can you see the sun shining through'
Over rolling hills by the Irish Sea
We never been this close
I realize now what I needed the most
