Cheating Death

Intro

You don’t forget the one who walked away in the end.

Verse 1

She laughed the night I came to claim her,

Smiled like she knew I’d miss my cue.

Slipped through my hands like gossamer,

Guess even the fates can get confused.

I’ve kissed kings, I took their crowns,

Watched em all go

[dramatic pause] Six feet underground.

But she said, “Not tonight,”

(Not tonight darling)

And left me spinning out of time.

Pre-Chorus

Now I just want to know,

how’s she still alive.

(How’s she still alive…)

Chorus

She stole my heart,

yeah she stole the show,

And sent me where

the shadows go.

With every smile she sends my way

She’s cheating

(She’s cheating)

Every breath she takes

keeps my dark heart beating

Verse 2

She moves through crowds like a rumor,

Every glance a dare, every breath a sin.

Got my mark still on her shoulder,

But she wears it like a grin.

I used to be the closing scene,

Now she’s cutting through the screen.

Every night I try again,

But she just keeps on living.

Pre-Chorus

She’s the glitch I can’t erase,

Laughing right into my face.

Chorus

She stole my scythe,

yeah she stole the show,

And sent me where

the shadows go.

With every smile she makes

She’s cheating

Every breath she takes

keeps my dark heart beating

Bridge

I keep her name on every list,

Wanna cross it out, can’t resist.

Maybe love’s the curse I missed,

Maybe that’s the trick.

Final Chorus

She’s been cheating,

And I don’t even fight.

(Don’t fight)

Every day she says she loves me

I give her ONE MORE NIGHT.

If she runs, I’ll chase her still

Guess forever’s what she kills.

Yeah, she’s cheating

And I love to let her.

Outro

She can’t outrun me forever…

She can’t outrun me forever…
