Helena (Live) Lyrics by Nickel Creek

Live from the Fox Theater

2022

[Instrumental Intro]

[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
Waitin' for me
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 wastе your pretty sympathy
She's gonna be just finе
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 us 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
