Lyrics

Lost Cause

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Something's in the—

Something's in the air right now

Like I'm losin' track of time (time, time)

Like I don't really care right now

But maybe that's fine

You weren't even there that day

I was waitin' on you (you, you)

I wonder if you were aware that day

Was the last straw for me and I knew

I sent you flowers

Did you even care?

You ran the shower

And left them by the stairs

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ah, ah, eh, eh

Thought you had your shit together, but damn, I was wrong

You ain't nothin' but a lost cause

And this ain't nothin' like it oncе was

I know you think you're such an outlaw

But you got no job

You ain't nothin' but a lost cause

And this ain't nothin' likе it once was

I know you think you're such an outlaw

But you got no job

I used to think you were shy

But maybe you just had nothing on your mind

Maybe you were thinkin' 'bout yourself all the time

I used to wish you were mine

But that was way before I realized

Someone like you would always be so easy to find

(So) So easy (So, so)

Eeh, hm, hm, hm, hm

Gave me no flowers

Wish I didn't care

You'd be gone for hours

Could be anywhere

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Thought you would've grown eventually, but you proved me wrong

You ain't nothing but a lost cause

And this ain't nothing like it once was

I know you think you're such an outlaw

But you got no job

You ain't nothing but a lost cause

And this ain't nothing like it once was

I know you think you're such an outlaw

But you got no job

(What did I tell you?)

(Don't get complacent)

(It's time to face it now)

(Na, na, na, na, na, na)

(What did I tell you?)

(Don't get complacent)

(It's time to face it now)

(Na, na, na, na, na, na)
