My fingers get heavier later in the night,
and sleight of hand eludes me.
I'm telling you, if you could see me do these tricks in the light,
I would make you disappear.
I'm losing my edge,
and it kills me you don't mind.
But I'll tell you one thing.
I should go. I should go,
but you make it so hard to leave.
If I was a better man, I'd put up a fight.
I'd shake these reservations.
My secrets, they were always kept well just out of sight,
and the saws were never real.
There's things I'm not telling you,
and it kills me you don't mind.
But I'll just tell you one thing.
I should go. I should go,
but you make it so hard to leave.
