Title : Will It Keep?
Capo on 2nd fret
Verse:
You think you're so smart
but baby you're playing a part.
I guess I'm guilty again
because I always let you win.
And you got a heart
but it's weak and it's breaking apart.
Well maybe it's not too late
and we could still resuscitate.
How should I feel
when I thought we had a deal?
We took a break
and now I'm still awaiting my take.
The last time we spoke
you told me my life was a joke.
You laughed 'till you choked
and went back to mirrors and smoke.
Chorus:
And I kept the impression
that you think you're too good for me.
Well I've got a confession:
I was only hoping for some charity.
And it's so frustrating
I just need one good night's sleep
and I hate the waiting just to see if it will keep.

Verse:
Your day will come
and that day will pass you by.
The damage is done
and you'll just sit and wonder why.
It's such a shame,
it's a such a forgettable name
but no one's to blame
you went out the way you came.
Chorus:
And I got the impression
that you thought you were too good for me.
well I've got a confession:
I was only looking for some charity.
And it's so frustrating
I just need one good night sleep
and I hate the waiting just to see if it will keep.
Bridge:
You want them to like you
and always need you there.
You want them to want it,
you need to know they care.
You want them to like you
and always need you there.
You want to be wanted,
You need to know they care.
You want them to like you
and always need you there.
You want them to want it,
you wish that you didn't care.
Interlude
Verse:
So now that you're gone
I still wonder what went wrong.
Abuse what I love,
it's something I'm not very proud of.
You can't admit
that you get so caught up in it.
You've got what you think
is closest to the real thing.
