Robbed Twice

Verse 1

California nights, we burned and we fought

Made up in the morning, forgot what we lost

You said the truth would just tear us apart

So you built your lies on a broken heart

Pre-Chorus

I swore I’d never let you go

Told you things only you should know

But we came back with empty hands

Lost more than just that Denali, damn

Chorus

I got robbed twice (robbed twice), once with a gun

Then by the woman (by the woman) I thought was the one

You disappeared (disappeared) when I needed you close

Left me alone (so alone) with nothing but ghosts

Baby, I ain’t asking for much (ain’t asking for much)

Your love was the diamond, the gold, the touch

But you keep running (you keep running), breaking my trust

Yeah, I got robbed twice (robbed twice)… by fate and by us

Verse 2

I told you no one could love you more

Than the man who’d die to keep you sure

You looked at me, said that’s true

But somehow the truth don’t anchor you

Verse 3

You spent hours searching wedding dreams

White or not, you couldn’t believe

Couldn’t decide what dress you’d choose

Now I’m the one left torn in two

Bridge (with variation)

We were just talking wedding rings (talking wedding rings)

Now I’m left here with shattered dreams (shattered dreams)

You say you sabotage your life (sabotage your life)

But I was ready to call you my wife (call you my wife)

Chorus (repeat)

I got robbed twice (robbed twice), once with a gun

Then by the woman (by the woman) I thought was the one

You disappeared (disappeared) when I needed you close

Left me alone (so alone) with nothing but ghosts

Baby, I ain’t asking for much (ain’t asking for much)

Your love was the diamond, the gold, the touch

But you keep running (you keep running), breaking my trust

Yeah, I got robbed twice (robbed twice)… by fate and by us

Final Chorus (double, bigger & layered)

I got robbed twice (robbed twice), the street took my ride

Then your love left me empty inside

You disappeared when I needed you most

Now I’m haunted, chasing your ghost

Baby, I ain’t asking for much

Your love was the diamond, the gold, the touch

But you keep running, breaking my trust

Yeah, I got robbed twice… by fate and by us

Outro (Haunting, fade-out)

Robbed of you… was worse than the gun
