Fortune On My Name

from From The Blue House by Lauren Hoffman

/

lyrics

I've been accused of changing
You say I've gone astray
You say I'm not the same person
The person you loved yesterday

So you can bet on horses
You can wage it all on the game
But I'm not a steed with a winning streak
Don't place your fortune on my name
Don't place your fortune on my name

I'm not a rock so solid
You can hammer me and I won't bend
And I might never be your mountain
But if you'll let me I'll try to be your friend

So you can bet on horses
You can wage it all on the game
But I'm not a steed with a winning streak
Don't place your fortune on my name
Don't place your fortune on my name

Now I'm driving down the street
With your tear-stains on my cheek
And you know I think you're crazy
You say I'm the one who's flaky and it's something I should face
You just don't fucking faze me

I don't want to be your rock
And I don't want to be your mountain
I don't want to be your insurance policy
I don't want to be the one you count on

So you can take your chances
And you can wage it all on my game but
I'm not a steed with a winning streak don't
Place your fortune on my name
Don't place your fortune on my name
