Baby says I'm tearing her down
Shoulder to shoulder
I hold her too lightly
And baby says,
"Baby, your kiss don't do anything"
Oh sweetness, all I need is a brand new heart
It's old and it's cold and it's no longer golden
And baby says,
"Baby you're right, but that's no excuse"
And my baby says,
"It's a lie, it's a cop-out and I know you know I know why
You won't try, cause you're scared and you're weak
And you don't give a fuck about me
And I do believe that you hate yourself
And I knew you'd never stay forever
Holding it together, making songs for me
And all right, forevers on your side
Oh it's only time
It's longer than you think."
And baby says, "this house was a home
It's worn and it's torn
And it holds only your ghost."
And baby says,
"Baby you're cursed, oh why can't you see?"
Oh sweetness, all i need is a brand new head
Clear without fears and it knows only your name
And baby says,
"Baby you're right but you never win."
And my baby says,
"It's a lie, it's a cop-out and I know you know I know why
You won't try, cause you're scared and you're weak
And you don't give a fuck about me"
And I do believe that you hate yourself
And I knew you'd never stay forever
Holding it together, making songs for me
And all right forevers on your side
Oh it's only time
It's longer than you think.
"And I knew you'd never stay forever
Holding it together, making songs for me
And all right, forever's on your side
Oh it's only time
It's longer than you think."
And she says, "it's a cop-out and I know you know I know
(I know you know, I know you know)"
