I lost my favourite situation
Man, I'd say she had the best of me
I don't wanna waste my time
No, I don't know why
But, I don't feel right anymore
I don't care to make amends
Nothing ever meant that much to me
Walking a very fine line
Don't wanna waste my time
But I don't feel right anymore
* I don't quite know why our
System ain't working, my love
You say that I'm out of my head
Was it something I said, my love
I don't quite know why our
System ain't working
I know that there's something inside
And it doesn't feel
What do you need
What do you need
I don't know what we're gonna do
If we don't pull together soon
Will be too late to stop this
Every single thing you say and do
Turns out to be cruel
(solo)
(*Repeat)
I lost my favourite situation
Man, I'd say she had the best of me
I don't wanna waste my time
No, I don't know why
But, I don't feel right anymore
Look in my
Look in my eyes and you'll see
(*Repeat)
