Lose

Where were you when I broke the skin?

Or when you told me you weren't with him?

I never knew and I never will

You just tell me the things that I want to hear

So there’s a notion of lies, it lies between you and I

And we walk all upon it like Jesus Christ

And I've said before, so I'll say it again

The more you cross me, the less I forgive you

How do you find that you could simplify

A quarrel by which was dealt with silence

With nothing more but keeping quiet?

Never did quite get that logic

So again and again, there a benevolent limb

Left hanging out in the cold without a hand there to hold

And it's the circle were in, can’t find a way to admit when we're wrong

Now don't you go on telling anybody anything

You're gonna lose

End up holdin' on to all it was that you lost

I've never done the things I now have done

Before to myself or to somebody else

I guess that's just how it goes when you're young, and you grow

With someone with you to push and to pull

Why you always run when the run gets rough?

Sometimes you just gotta go, yeah, yeah, you just gotta go, I know

And maybe it all just feels a little too close

But baby, don’t you forget what you love the most

Now don’t you go on telling anybody anything

You're gonna lose

End up holdin’ on to all it was that you lost

You left me hanging, left me hanging on a memory

One of you

Can't help but to think I'm not the only one

Never really mattered anyway

Spent all my time hoping everything would work out right

Really was for nothing at all seeing it all now

As you take your place in the past

You walk over wet cement

Now I'm stuck retracing the steps you took to forget

Don’t you go on telling anybody anything

You're gonna lose

Ended up losing you
