When my old friends said to me
That I hate being what I'm supposed to be
Well I don't know it could be true
I know I wasn't always there for you
Now you're ready to walk out
You're ready to run
Talk to me can't you see
I would never want to do what it seems I've done
You can't deal me the aces you think I wouldn't play
Don't let this be the reason you would walk away
The things you think I should do
I've never understood that part of you
You know I've tried to be a friend
But you feel undermined and hurt again
Now don't let it convince you
Please don't take it to heart
Compromise and realize
You can never really run everything
You can't deal me the aces you think I wouldn't play
Don't let this be the reason you would walk away
And I guess I said I couldn't see
How things could turn out like they've come to be
And if I lied and if I knew
Well I was only trying to think of you
And now you're ready to walk out
You're ready to run
Talk to me can't you see
I would never want to do what it seems I've done
You can't deal me the aces think I would play
Don't let this be the reason you would walk away
Don't let this be the reason you would walk away
