Fair Warning - Don't Count on Me lyrics

You learned your lesson And you learned it well Don't look back don't look back It's been a long way Now it's hard to tell Why you don't and never will Talk of the days when love went away Hold emotions at bay Not much left of high aims You know how it feels to go up in flames Now you're telling yourself Rise from the ashes a new day's dawning What if mercy ain't blessed Ashes to ashes the past is calling Ashes to ashes locked out of eden Don't count on me For some man might heed no golden rule Don't count on me I'm not here to be playing your fool You fought the good fight And it turned out wrong Don't look back don't look back You asked for nothing Now there's nothing left And you don't ask for more Not much left of high aims You know how it feels to go up in flames Now you're telling yourself Rise from the ashes a new day's dawning What if mercy ain'y blessed Ashes to ashes locked out of eden Don't count on me For some man might heed no golden rule Don't count on me I'm not here to be playing your fool The truth just does not taste too sweet So kiss your past farewell For live it rips you off and cheats And leaves you with the ashes
