You're leaving me on the outside again
The sunlight's far behind the clouds today
I had those doubts in my mind
But you didn't prove me wrong
So goodbye, Desert Princess, it's time to move on
Somehow you got my heart wrapped up in anguish
Somehow I saw the light where there was none
I tried to be oblivious but got bested once again
The winds are gonna blow me down today
Run away with those blood-stained hands
I don't care to see your face anymore
I'm high and dry just like you'd leave me next year
So say hello to your desert sun for me
I always knew your sights were set for elsewhere
You proved my childish worries to be true
I had a dream about you once and it became so clear
The knife that's twisted only turns by you
Run away with those blood-stained hands
I don't care to see your face anymore
I'm high and dry just like you'd leave me next year
So say hello to your desert sun for me
I never been a man who learns his lessons
Or lets his jaded heart keep him in line
Against both of our highest hopes I sing this ode to you
Another story about me feeling sorry
Run away with those blood-stained hands
I don't care to see your face anymore
I'm high and dry just like you'd leave me next year
So say hello to your desert sun for me
