Lyrics:

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

It's killin' 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 nothin' 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 winnin' 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 nothin' anybody can do when the run dry

(I, I, I, I)
(I, I, I)

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
And everybody knows you can lead a horse to water
But there's nothin' anybody can do
Oh, there's nothin' anybody can do
There's nothin' anybody can do when the rivers run dry
When the rivers run dry
