In a Red Dress and Alone

Let's start it over from the beginning
Let's play for keeps so I know you can never get the best of me
Sometimes you have to (have to)
And other times you serve whoever saves you
And brings you to your knees
My love

Beauty fades when she dies
In a red dress and alone
But it was the best times
And you're right to love him
And you're right to want to
Close the door and lock me in
Break the key and chase the blood out of my veins

Street and town, side streets
Where the city ends and the dead ends meet
Bite your lip and smile
I have many holes to fill and I'll find them all

She holds them in her hand
But when she lets go she knows
It's the last time that she ever will again and you'll find that

Beauty fades when she dies
In a red dress and alone
But it was the best times
And you're right to love him
And you're right to want to
Close the door and lock me in
Break the key and chase the blood out of my veins

You're wrong
I am not alone
I was right
You were not the only one

And beauty fades when she dies
In a red dress and alone
But it was the best times
And you're right to love him
And you're right to want to
Close the door and lock me in
Break the key and chase the blood out of my veins

Your name into concrete
So that they know that I'm alive
