Isn’t it always like a window shade went up
When you look out on the love that’s come and gone
But thinking of old days is a refilled coffee cup
It smells so nice but tends to get you burned
And even when I’ve tried the lonely road
I always end up sticking out my thumb
And even when I think that I’ve struck gold
The cycle just repeats itself again
If my baby says she needs you- send her back to me
But if she says that can’t leave you- it wasn’t meant to be
Cause if my love life runs like clockwork I’d assume:
Since it’s been two years this June,
I guess somebody’s gonna break my heart soon
It was caution be damned when I sunk my teeth on in
There’s no time for wrong when it feels right
As I understand it- it’s hard to be strong when
The marks show it was me who got the bite
And even when I’ve tried the cautious path
I always take the shortest when it comes
And even when I think love’s gonna last
The only thing I’m left with is the makings of a song
I’m falling all over, my face in the dirt
You’d think I wouldn’t get back up for more
Feel drunk but I’m sober, I’ll ignore the hurt
Is my heart a glutton or a whore?
