lyrics

Ambushed (How Lucky You Are)
(c) 2011

I was ambushed in my own house
You were never gonna be found out
Frame by Frame, you’re unpredictable
It’s a dirty down shame, you’re so likable

Now I know your kind and it blows my mind
‘Cause I keep falling for it

How lucky you are to be born without a heart
‘Cause mine hurts all the time

Compassion is not what you’d say your calling is
Line ‘em up and knock ‘em down in front of witnesses
Now I know your kind and it blows my mind
‘Cause I keep falling for it

How lucky you are to be born without a heart
‘Cause mine hurts all the time

You wear your smile like a fashion statement
You look at me like I’m your entertainment

I'm done fish'n down that dry well
'cause I'm the sensitive type who fell into your hell
The less I say, the more I'm heard,
I can figure you out, but I won't be cured

'Cause I know your kind and I rack my mind
that I keep falling for it

How lucky you are to be born without a heart
‘Cause mine hurts all the time
Oh, it hurts all time…Oh…How lucky you are…
