I'm a sucker in this life
For the heat behind your knife
For your bucket filled with flames
And only I'm to blame
I'm a habit riddled cause
I've been a fool for no applause
There ain't no finer things than life's goodbyes
But I got one foot in
And things start to cross my mind
Are you still in love with him?
'Cause I can't spare an ounce of pride
When I say shit I don't mean
And you know it right away
Don't you throw it in my face
I'll come around
If I'm feeling kind of mean
Gonna let me work it out
If there's a bitterness to my sweet
Can you love all you find out?
♪
I want to start things off right
I don't want to be a jealous guy
So if I take you out tonight
Give me your eyes
And don't hang all over my friends
Flirt at my expense
Then turn and ask me why I'm so uptight
If I'm feeling kind of weak
You're going to throw your weight around
See this bitterness to my sweet
Can you love all you find out?
♪
This could be so real
This could be so nice
If my fuckups were fireflies in her eyes
Cause I'm a sucker in this life
For the heat behind your knife
For your bucket filled with flames
And only I'm to blame
I'm a habit riddled cause
I've been a fool for no applause
There ain't no finer things than life's goodbyes
And when I've got one foot in
Then things cross my mind
Are you still in love with him?
I can't spare an ounce tonight
So when I say things I don't mean
And you catch me right away
Don't you throw it in my face
Show me some grace, please
If I'm feeling kind of mean
You're gonna let me work it out
If there's a bitterness to my sweet
Can you love all you find out?
