lyrics

My wake, ain’t been nothing but mistakes
Ain’t got nothing but heartache
Ain’t got nothing
But nothing from something is something that I want to be, babe
And I ain’t coming in there cause I think that I’ve been there
Bears repeating, repeating a pattern then patterning out once again

Babe, I want you to stay
We’re just having good times like we’re counting the days

Making love til we’re breaking up
Making love til we’re breaking up
Making love til the sun comes up
Making love til we’ve had enough
Making love til we’re breaking up

Hallways in the back of a dark place
Money walk on a cheap date
Ain’t got nothing
But money means nothing and nothing is cheaper than this
And I ain’t hanging out, I’m just filling with doubt
Making out, staying in, waiting to stop until it can begin again

Babe, I don’t understand it
There’s a card up your sleeve and I’m still empty-handed

Baby, baby, don’t you cry (no babe, don’t cry)
Lovers lost in a lilting lullaby
Come and give me your heart (give me your heart)
Keep your eyes open wide while I rip it apart
