"Parting Shot"
by Moss Palace
Why do you have to be right?
Feel safer on my knees
I’m praying for a ceasefire
Every time we disagree
When I hear you say
“Don’t run away”
“Don’t run away”
Oh how can I stay?
It’s so hard to try
When I never win
The games that you play
The games that you play
I try to smooth your feathers
My tongue, a string of knots
Still sweeping up the ashes
From your best parting shots
Then, I heard you say
“Don’t run away”
“Don’t run away”
But how can I stay?
It’s so hard to try
when I never win
The games that you play
The games that you play
Can promises be trusted?
“I’m sorry” can’t be found
My hope wants to believe you
My faith is losing ground
Then, I heard you say
“Don’t run away”
“Don’t run away”
But how can I stay?
It’s so hard to try
when I never win
The games that you play
The games that you play
Then, I heard you say
“Don’t run away”
“Don’t run away”
But how can I stay?
It’s so hard to try
when I never win
The games that you play
The games
