The Ides Lyrics by Fryars

Dark Young Hearts

2009

[Verse 1]
I always said she was a runner
Running through the fields
I put a gun, I put a gun to her
With the force, she came to kneel
As she screams, and in her own blood
Sympathy for you, I'll never have
I'll never have none
It's time you told the truth
And I left the gun beside her
Running through the night
I ran for land, I ran for safety
For new places and new sights

[Pre-Chorus]
Always said she was a runner
I thought I knew her well
I never thought I was a runner
I thought I knew her well

[Chorus]
You should've died that very night
Good job for you I wasn't born a killer
You took my life, you took my flight
Good job for you I wasn't born a killer
You should've died that very night
Good job for you I wasn't born a killer
You took my life, you took my flight
Good job for you I wasn't born a killer

[Verse 2]
I always knew her as a baker
But something I knew not
Is that when I tried to take her
There was something I forgot
For I knew I couldn't keep her
And running out of time
I tried so hard, I tried to cheat her
She was running in her prime
So I thought about my choices
And chose to drop the gun
And among the screaming voices
Something told me I should run

[Pre-Chorus]
Never thought I was a runner
I thought I knew her well
I never thought I was a runner
I thought I knew her well

[Chorus]
You should've died that very night
Good job for you I wasn't born a killer
You took my life, you took my flight
Good job for you I wasn't born a killer
You should've died that very night
Good job for you I wasn't born a killer
You took my life, you took my flight
Good job for you I wasn't born a killer

[Bridge]
There is so much to remember
But there's more to forget
I ain't seen you since December
I'm surprised we haven't met
And in the depths of the Scilly Isles
I heard you reside
And in the depths of my mind
I can still see your eyes

[Chorus]
You should've died that very night
Good job for you I wasn't born a killer
You took my life, you took my flight
Good job for you I wasn't born a killer
You should've died that very night
Good job for you I wasn't born a killer
You took my life, you took my flight
Good job for you I wasn't born a killer
