Poetic Justice (Album Version) - Maura O'connell

So I was not the one you wanted

Can't you see I'm reconciled

Must you be so disappointed

Can you not carry on in style

Is it too much to say we loved hard

'Til the world fell back in place

And left us where we are

I feel like the king when the queen loses faith

And the crowd rushes in to tear down the gate

While the whole palace slept

And I never rang the bell

Maybe that's poetic justice but it's pretty hard to tell

And when the fortune wheel is spinning

Luck is fortune's dirty joke

And a player's chance of winning

Is diminished by his hope

Can't you laugh just to think of the gold

We had running through our hands

We were on a role

I feel like the king when the queen loses faith

And the crowd rushes in

To tear down the gate

And declare what was mine I stole from someone else

Maybe that's poetic justice but it's pretty hard to tell

It's hard to tell

Solid ground surprised us when

We fell

It's hard to say it's life or death

Or just so many bitter words beneath your breath

Is it too much to say we loved hard

'Til the world fell back in place

And left us where we are

I feel like the king when the queen loses faith

And the crowd rushes in

To tear down the gate

And declare what was mine I stole from someone else

Maybe that's poetic justice but it's pretty hard to tell

I feel like the king when the queen loses hope

And the crowd rushes in

To raise the gallows pole

And declare what he must do I'm doing to myself

Well if that's poetic justice how can anybody tell
