Lucky Break from You're Fine by Barbra Lica

Lucky Break

It’s the last time that I’m stood up by a dream
It’s the last time that I let myself hope like a child
I’ll be damned if I ever again have dreams like these
He could’ve called, he could’ve called at least

And I’ve been waiting since even the sun gave in
I’ve been waiting, and everyone’s watching me now
How’d I find myself sittin alone on Friday night
Drinkin Whiskey by the telephone light

And maybe I’m lucky
The bullet missed its mark
Tell me why
Lucky always breaks my heart

It’s the last time, I put myself out on the line
It’s the last time I show him the cards in my hand
Here I am, like a lost little lamb making eyes at the door
Maybe he’s still on his way, and I’m not that girl anymore

Or maybe I’m lucky
The bullet missed its mark
Tell me why
Lucky always breaks my heart

It’s no surprise
I know it shouldn’t be
I recognize that old familiar melody

So maybe I’m lucky
The bullet missed its mark
Tell me why
Lucky always breaks my heart

Tell me why
Lucky always breaks my heart
