It's all, but it ain't
It's all, but it ain't
So where do I start?
It's only so vain
So what did I gain?
I gave it my heart
I told myself, if I had the wealth
I could buy my way out of everything
Why'd I have to be such trouble to please?
It wouldn't be me, oh if it was easy, if it was easy
Such trouble to please
It wouldn't be easy, if it was me
Why'd I have to go and break your heart for kicks?
Why'd I have to go and break what can't be fixed?
It's all, but it ain't
It's all, but it ain't
So where does it start?
I want what I had
I want it so bad
I gave it my heart
I told myself, if I had the wealth
I could buy my way out of everything
Why'd I have to be such trouble to please?
It wouldn't be me, oh if it was easy, if it was easy
Such trouble to please
It wouldn't be easy, if it was me
Why'd I have to go and break your heart for kicks?
Why'd I have to go and break what can't be fixed?
Why'd I have to be such trouble to please?
It wouldn't be me, oh if it was easy, if it was easy
Such trouble to please
It wouldn't be easy, if it was me
Why'd I have to go and break your heart for kicks?
Why'd I have to go and break what can't be fixed?
Why'd I have to go and break your heart for kicks?
