Lyrics
Criminals win
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.
'Cause I don't wanna make you sad today
If I could I rewind and erase everything
Everything that's ever been done
'Cause we can make out while the record plays
Or we could argue till we obey
But some fights will never get won
It's just like real love
All my love is second best
And all my stars are in the west
And I don't see that no more
So it's better that you leave in love
Oh I never believed in love
It's what the devil say, say, say, say
It's just like real love
Real, real love
So we can't afford the books we write
And we sleep with our laces tight
We let the animals in
So we steal the hours from our lives
And sell them to ourselves at night
But sometimes the criminal win
It's just like real love
Real love
Real, real love
