Better Luck Next Time

Black is for the nighttime
Preys upon the day
Red is for the blood that flows like rivers in our veins
Gray is for betrayal
What you did to me
White is for the blinding light
That I know I’ll never see—know I’ll never see
Found you in the gutter
You needed tenderness
I gave you everything I had
I gave you all my trust
Handed out so neatly
Caught me in your trap
When I needed you the most
You stab me in the back—stab me in the back
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
If you do it once, there’ll never be a second time
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
Find somebody else; you’re never gonna be mine
How do you find the nerve
To lie right to my face?
How do you find the nerve?
Black is for the nighttime
Preys upon the day
Red is for the blood that flows like rivers in our veins
I try and find excuses
For what you did to me
Can’t forget that burning rage
When I wake up thinking of your face
For the blinding swiftness of revenge
That I know I’ll never see—know I’ll never see
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
If you do it once, there’ll never be a second time
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
Find somebody else; you’re never gonna be mine
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
How do you find the nerve
To lie right to my face?
How did you find the nerve?
Better luck, better luck
Better luck next time
