Oh, have some heart and hold it to your chest
We weren't in love, we were too young
We throw our words around as if they were not gold
They are

Oh maybe someday I will be something more
Real with arms and legs so I can walk away 
And stay away forever and some more
Some more

Stick around to watch this town fall down onto its knees
You can pray the day that you hope is coming 'round real soon
And I will run and stay away in a place that I don't know well of
You can chose a different song that you will soon love

These are the reasons that hurt me the most
Call off the search I'm coming home
People lie once, but not on the third
Not without reason, not for a girl

The names will vary, the names they may change
But the game, the game it stays the same
We love, we want the ones that we will grow to hate
To hate

Oh, it's just so
Oh...

Stick around to watch this town fall down onto its knees
You can pray the day that you hope is coming 'round real soon
And I will run and stay away in a place I don't know well of
You can chose a different song that you will soon love

Here are the reasons that hurt me the most
Call off the search she's coming home
People lie once, but not on the third
Not without reason, not for a girl

Oh maybe someday I'll deserve something more
A home in which I will turn to grow
I plant the seeds so that we can become something more, something more

I'll stick around to watch this town fall down to it's knees
You can pray the day that you hope is coming round real soon
I will run and stay away in a place that I don't know well of
You can chose a different song that you will soon love

Oh here are the reasons that hurt me the most
Call off the search she's coming home
People lie once, but not on the third
Not without reason, not for a girl
