INTRO:

VERSE 1:
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's 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,
CHORUS:
"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, forever's on your side
Oh it's only time, it's longer than you think.

VERSE 2:
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's a brand new head
Clear without fears and it knows only your name
And baby says,
"Baby you're right but you'll never win."
And my baby says,
CHORUS:
"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, forever's on your side
Oh it's only time, it's longer than you think.

CHORUS REPRISE:
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)"
