Mock Turtle Soup

Remember when love was child's play Partners in crime playing games No reason to play by the rules Just holding hands and skipping school Now every time we roll the dice They seem to land on snake eyes I try to keep my poker face But I just know it's not the same It's not that I don't love this game But I can't go on making mock turtle soup and I Can't go on playing the bad guy Always bending the rules I can't go on making mock turtle soup and I Can't go on turning a blind eye To the truth We met when we were seventeen We dreamed of a life in the country We laid out our plans with good intent Now we work two jobs just to pay the rent Son that's life our parents said I can't go on making mock turtle soup and I Can't go on playing the bad guy Always bending the rules I can't go on making mock turtle soup and I Can't go on turning a blind eye To the truth I still love that sparkle in your eyes The one that gives me butterflies The green and the white But now their lost in the night Sometimes we need to know To let the butterflies go Set them free and let them roam Let their colours reclaim us Let their colours reclaim us Let their colours reclaim us Let their colours reclaim us Cos I can't go on making mock turtle soup and I Can't go on playing the bad guy Always bending the rules I can't go on making mock turtle soup and I Can't go on turning a blind eye To the truth
