Ballad Of You & I - Hotel Lux

Here’s the decline, the ballad of you and I

We wrote the first verse, you crossed out the middle eight

The rise and the fall of our own little empire

Where you play the conqueror, and I was the overcome

I was the overcome (La, la, la, la, la, la, la)

I was the overcome (La, la, la, la, la, la, la)

I was the overcome

I’ll be your doormat, be trampled all over

I’ll be alone like a sad little loner

If this is our song then you’re the composer

I’m not a game but you’ll play me anyway

You’ll play me anyway (La, la, la, la, la, la, la)

You’ll play me anyway (La, la, la, la, la, la, la)

You’ll play me anyway

I know when I’m right

I’m never wrong

I know when I’m right

I’m never wrong

So long sails a ship, of me plus you

I’ll man the ropes, you hoist the anchor

You try to tell me, I’m better off without you

And your just a burden, but that’s so untrue

The ballad of you and I

The ballad of you and I

The ballad of you and I

I know when I’m right

I’m never wrong

I know when I’m right

I’m never wrong

Now, I don’t want you

It’s my own divide and conquer

The grass is always greener

The grass is always greener

The grass is always greener (the ballad of you and I)

The grass is always greener (the ballad of you and I)

The grass is always greener (the ballad of you and I)

The grass is always greener

-I, the ballad of you and I

The ballad of you and I

The ballad of you and I
