Nickel Creek Helena Lyrics

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 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
