Helena Lyrics by Nickel Creek

Why Should The Fire Die?

2005

[Verse 1]
Helena don't walk away
Before you give me back my heart
If it were mine it would be yours to take
I'm sorry I let down my guard
Oh Helena you looked so sweet
I should have seen
While I was playing for fun
You were playing for keeps
[Verse 2]
You win, I lose
Is there some way you can leave me in your debt
So my girl and I can live to die another day?
On that day I won't forget you
Helena you'll look so sweet waiting for me
While I wait for her to give me any reason to leave
[Chorus]
Don't waste your pretty sympathy
She's gonna be just fine
And Helena so will we
So will everything in time
[Verse 3]
Helena don't walk away
Did you hear one word I said
Oh well I never really liked hearts anyway
And I forgot her I'll forget you Helena
You're not that sweet and neither is she
Go ahead and tell her anything you want
[Chorus]
'Cause Helena guys like me
Never sleep alone at night
I don't need your sympathy
'Cause I'll always be just fine
Yeah I'll always be just fine
[Outro]
Yeah I'll always be just fine
