Nickel Creek - Helena lyrics

Helena, don't walk away

Before you give me back my heart

If it were mine, it would be yours to take

I'm sorry I've let down my guard, oh Helena

You looked so sweet

I should have seen

While I was playing for fun

You were playing for keeps

You win, I lose, is there some way

You can leave me in your debt

So my girl and I can live to die another day

On that day I won't forget you, Helena

You look so sweet waiting for me

While I wait for her to give me any reason to leave

Don't waste your pretty sympathy

She's gonna be just fine

And Helena, so will we

So will everything in time, mmm

Helena, don't walk away

Did you hear one word I said

Oh well, I never really liked her anyway

And I forgot her, I'll forget you, Helena

You're not that sweet

And neither is she

Go ahead and tell her anything

You walk, Helena

Cause guys like me never sleep alone at night

I don't need your sympathy

Cause I'll always be just fine

Yeah, I'll always be just fine

Yeah, I'll always be just fine

La la la, la la la, la la la
