Helena Lyrics - Why Should The Fire Die? - Nickel Creek

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 us 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 want 

'Cause Helena, 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, la la
