Rip off
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.
I can name the people that know they don't know themselves
Without talking to nobody
I can count the people that know they want to fix themselves
Without taking my hands out of my pockets
I make these promises but all my promises hurt
Except they never get a liftoff
So if I'm being honest with you and it seems like I'm being cruel
At least you didn't get a rip off
And you know how I feel
I've got faith in you
And it's a little too late for goodbyes
Good morning, open your eyes
I can see the tears so long before they know your face
I can almost draw the lines
But when she smiles, lord it spins me like a Ferris wheel
Washed out to sea in your eyes
I make these promises but all my promises hurt
Except they never get a liftoff
So if I'm being honest with you and it seems like I'm being cruel
At least you didn't get a rip off, a rip off
Rip off, rip off
Rip off, rip off
Rip off, rip off
And you know how I feel ... like a rip off, rip off, a rip off
