Mini Videos and Lyrics Session IV-Ce N'est Rien--I Didn't Come Here To Lose

Another installment of our award winning series Mini Videos and Lyrics.  Here you go...one take from Ce N'est Rien.  Song is I Didn't Come Here to Lose

I DIDNT COME HERE TO LOSE

I looked my old life in the face

It smiled back and got its way

It's just a fever it'll pass but it still hurts all the same

Screw the note screw the key

There is no one here but me,

  And I didnt come here to lose

I held your hand and then your shoe

You left so fast I thought you flew

I try to forget the kiss and harness the excuse

Why you said your tongue was fused to mine:

  'Still had that accent to lose

  And the South to leave behind

And "I'm sorry I'm leaving, dont you know I live my whole life acting out?

I'll dream about you wherever I can..."

Just got too darn real for you now

Go the way of all my dancing girls

I hope you find what you're looking for,

  I'm sure you lost a few steps

  Spinning in circles on the floor

You trust me, dont you?...

I spent all my good years in a bath

I first had you go in, I first had you goin'

My skin has shriveled up into ash--

Let's go towards the light and try to smoke it

I will be born again in your lungs and in your breath I withhold from you

I give and give as you take

I made the choice sun-blackeyed-burned

I wont be coming back for what you keep trying to...

  It's like you're trying to lose

  I didnt come here to lose...
