River runs dry

I didn't want to say it in this way,
I didn't want to see the day I'd say these words to you,
I didn't want have to explain,
Sometimes heroes have to lose.

It's killing me to see you cry,
Would it make it any better if I told you I did it all for you,
It was just another roll of the dice,
Just another star in the sky,
Tried to touch it but I couldn't fly.

Everybody knows the promise of the river,
Everybody goes with the fire in their eyes,
Everybody knows you can lead a horse to water,
But there's nothing anybody can do,
Rivers run dry.

Gonna have to go away,
I always told you that a man has got to face his own mistakes,
Sometimes you get a lucky break,
Sometimes your winning streak will stay,
Sometimes you gotta pay.

Everybody knows the promise of the river,
Everybody goes with the fire in their eyes,
Everybody knows you can lead a horse to water,
But there's nothing anybody can do,
When the rivers run dry.

Oh, I remember when the rivers ran high,
Oh, we could make it to the other side,
Make it to the other side.

Everybody knows the promise of the river,
Everybody goes with the fire in their eyes,
Everybody knows you can lead a horse to water,
But there's nothing anybody can do,
Oh, there's nothing anybody can do,
There's nothing anybody can do,
When the rivers run dry,
When the rivers run dry...
