YOU WERE HER LIFE (a duet)

1st verse
 #1
On a lone stone bench
Centered in the park
By a maple tree
Where your name is carved

2nd verse
 #1
This is where she sits
This is where she cries
We all know her here
We don't ask her why

~~~*Chorus *~~~
*We don't ask her why / They don't ask me why
*She can't get on with her life / I can't get on with my life
*We all know her life was you... / They all know my life was you...
*We don't even try / They don't even try

Look away, and walk on by
*Like she needs us to do / Like I need them to do
*Until she works it through / Until I work it through
~~*~~

3rd verse
#2
A dark gray casket
Brought you home to me
Sealed up tightly
No way I could see

4th verse
#2
Touch your handsome face
Hold you one last time
Prove you're really gone
Oh, you were my life

~~~*Lyrical Bridge *~~~
*I wish that she could settle for / I wish that I could settle for
*Your image in her mind / Your image in my mind
Touching, laughing, crying
*The day you said goodbye / The day we said goodbye

# 1 
Desire kissed insanity
She embraced it like a fool
#2 
I needed proof...
(faded)
I needed proof...
~~*~~

~~*Finale*~~ 
both
*It's going to take time / Oh, all I need is time
*To reconstruct her life / To reconstruct my life
Oh...
*You were her life / You were my life
~~*~~

NOBODY SLAYS A DRAGON LIKE YOU DO

Nobody slays a dragon like you do

You hop on board, wielding your sword

And then you run em through

Nobody slays a dragon like you do

No one evades the enemy like you

You sneak on by, Let arrows fly

And they don't have a clue

No one destroys the enemy like you

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I miss ya buddy, would you please come play

Take her to dinner on a different day

Cause when you're gone, man I always die

Throw my controller, break down and cry

I'll beg ya buddy, if you want me to

Nobody slays a dragon like you do

~~*~~

Other players don't share lives like you do

They hog em all, just let me fall
Don't care that I am screwed
Nobody gives their lives to me like you

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
This flipping game
Drives me insane
That's it, I'm done, I'm through
I ran over
My controller
And I am cussing you
~~*~~

(Shout)...I DIDN'T MEAN IT!

~~~*Chorus*~~~
I miss ya buddy, would you please come play
Take her to dinner on a different day
Cause when you're gone, man I always die
Throw my controller, break down and cry
I'll beg ya buddy, if you want me to
Nobody slays a dragon like you do
~~*~~
Hello?  
Buddy? 
Pick up would ya?
Hey man log on!
Hello?
~~*~~
(Crying...)

THIS IS YOUR MAN

This is your man

I pack a gun

I don't want to use it

Don't want to hurt no one

But someone might

Threaten what's mine

I will shoot them for it

And I won't blink an eye

~~*~~

On the table

No hidden hand

This is your man

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

This is your man

Heart bared to you

Before the rings 

Are put in place

Before you say I do

Know me, Love me

The good and bad

This is your man

~~*~~

This is your man

I like to drink

I don't over do it

I can still talk and think

But I kick back

I love to laugh

Life can be quite stressful

Sure you can do the math

~~*~~

On the table

No hidden hand

This is your man

~~*~~

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~ 

If there is something you want to change

You might want to try it now

Cause once those rings are slid in place

There's no more of that allowed

I love ya babe, but I like myself

Now if ya want this fellas hand

Know I mean it...

This is your man

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

This is your man

Heart bared to you

Before the rings 

Are put in place

Before you say I do

Know me, Love me

The good and bad

This is your man

~~*~~
