Verse 1:
When I was younger I wish
that I would have known better
Better love makes a fat romance
lasts for more than a shoe
shine I'm bolder took all
the words of my mother
Saying it could be worse
Could be born with that disease
Instead of catching it first
Refrain 1:
So let's go back to the first time
That I met you in your Chevy
With your hands stretched and me
crying screaming "mercy mercy"
But I know that I was put here
To fight vikings in the cold war
with my arms out in the front
singing "tear me tear me"
Chorus 1:
These things take time love
These things take backbone
And they'll tell you
what you want to hear
They say it gets
better better
But you better know how
to point out the liars
You've got to win
your wars make sure
You're not fighting
for nothing nothing
Are you fighting for
(hold)
nothing nothing
Verse 2:
It feels like this world has
been growing slowly upside down
Maybe I should move to China
straighten this mess out
Maybe I'll be a poet watch
all the sky for falling words
Write about my grandma's curtains
Or the lady who put the
chinese buffet in her purse
Refrain 2:
I've got my mouth it's a weapon
It's bombshell it's a cannon
I've got my words I won't
give them mercy mercy
(Repeat Chorus 1)

Bridge:
(hold)
I've got my words
(hold)
I hope they hurt you
(hold)
I hope they scar you
I hope they will hear you
I hope they cut you open
make you seal the warn
For all the wrong
reasons make you see
that some things were
worth bruising for
Make you see that your
name is your honor code
Make you see that your
hands you're accounted for
They can choose where your
sweat and you blood will
go Make you see your life's
not to be lived alone
Run the strip through your hair
You're worth nothing nothing
Chorus 2:
These things take time love
These things take backbone
And they'll tell you
what you want to hear
They say it gets
better better
But you better know how
to point out the liars
You've got to win
your wars make sure
You're not fighting
for nothing nothing
Are you fighting for
These things take time love
These things take backbone
And they'll tell you
what you want to hear
They say it gets
better better
But you better know how
to point out the liars
You've got to win
your wars make sure
You're not fighting
for nothing nothing
Are you fighting for
(hold) (hold)
nothing nothing
