Blanche The Hopeless Waltz lyrics

Never again will I make that mistake
I asked for forgiveness when I needed to beg
I just hope there was some greater plan
Jesus may forgive me, but I don't think He can

When you're sadder than sad
That's when hope drives you mad

Like a slot machine, hope lets you win
But just enough to keep you coming back again
It don't take money, hope's crueler than that
It grabs your spirit and gives nothing back

When you're sadder than sad
That's when hope drives you mad
When nothing feels true, hope preys on you
Sad, sad, sad, sad, sad, sad, sad, sad

Hope sets you up, then leads you on
Just so it can push you further down, further down
Hope paves the way to disappointment and pain

Follow it down, it'll drive you insane

But please don't fall for hope's friendly disguise
Tear of its mask and we'll see all we like

When you're sadder than sad
That's when hope drives you mad

Well sometimes I break down and I hope and I pray
And I start to believe things will turn out my way
But I end up with heartaches
Now my teacher sand all stiff
Hopefully I'll never hope again

When you're sadder than sad
That's when hope drives you mad
When nothing feels true, hope preys on you
Sad, sad, sad, sad, sad, sad, sad, sad, sad
