Cheat Fate Lyrics

Small café in a backstreet grease-stained silverware

There's a crack in my coffee cup uneven legs on my chair

Drank my fourth cup of coffee smoked my last cigarette

Thought about the good times about the first time we met

Where and when there and then

Hearts break hard to shake like they never end

Took my phone from my pocket checked on the time

Gearing up for the phone call rehearsing my lines

A guy said you didn't live there and did I know it was 2am

But he knew the voice was mine 'cos it happens all the time

And he knows it's gonna happen again

Here again with a clear agenda; I'm a repeat offender

But I'm not a pretender and I was never a friend

I'm gonna cheat fate not gonna wait out here out on my own

I got too much speed to put on the brakes too much at stake too long alone

And I don't mind mistakes 'cos that's what you get

Brains fail when hearts break lost lives you bet

I've got it in my mind that your washing's hanging on his line

And you're lying there curled up beside him

I've got it in my head it only takes one simple step

To raise you from the dead you just need some reminding

I'm overboard and freezing looking for a reason why

It can't be just to wait for a simple twist of fate

There's gotta be room for one last try

Gonna cheat fate not gonna wait out here all on my own

I've got too much speed to put on the brakes too much at stake too long alone

And I don't mind mistakes 'cos that's what you get

Brains fail when hearts break lost lives you bet

When you cheat fate just can't wait out here all on my own

I got too much speed to put on the brakes too much at stake too long alone

And I don't mind mistakes 'cos that's what you get

Brains fail when hearts break lost lives you bet
