Lyrics James LaBrie

James LaBrie

Slight Of Hand

Turned a page in my life

Thought it through, wasn't easy to do

Weighed the risks, slight of hand

If I miss, then life's not worth a damn

Too dark to see, too light to feel

One's fate is sealed

You're nothing but a liar

Don't try and change me

Waste of time

You'll never convince me

I'll walk away a better man

From something you don't understand

Don't try to change me

Waste my time

You'll never convince me

I'll walk away, it's who I am

I don't expect you'd understand

On the list I've been made

A high risk, should have taken the fall

Odds against, won't survive

No defense, end this once and for all

Too dark to see, too light to feel

One's fate is sealed

You're nothing but a liar

Don't try and change me

Waste of time

You'll never convince me

I'll walk away a better man

From something you don't understand

Don't try to change me

Waste my time

You'll never convince me

I'll walk away it's who I am

I don't expect you'd understand

Let them try, all they want

Come what may, I am through

With their lies, and their ways

Not the first, who has tried

Nor the last they will betray

You're nothing but a liar

Don't try and change me

Waste of time

You'll never convince me

I'll walk away a better man

From something you don't understand

Don't try to change me

Waste my time

You'll never convince me

I'll walk away it's who I am

I don't expect you'd understand
