Ok let's be honest, this is not the kind of thing you like to tell over and over again
Nightly he holds her tightly to his breast
Trimming hedges, walking on egg shells, walking on ledges alone
It's not your life to ruin
It's not your life to ruin
It's not your life to ruin
It's not your life to ruin
Thanks for staying with us, we're back
And you won't believe what happens next, oh no, oh no
And to test her "the investors have all pulled out" he says
Just to see the fallout
And boy does she fall out
It's not your life to ruin
It's not your life to ruin
It's not your life to ruin
It's not your life to ruin
And me? Well I'll tell you that I was there
Collecting what he says, breaking the leases
And helping to pick up the pieces
The attorney burned me with his smile
All the while calculating, anticipating
Just how far to take it
It's not your life to ruin
It's not your life to ruin
It's not your life to ruin
It's not your life to ruin
