Now 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 is 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, 

"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, forevers on your side

oh it's only time

it's longer than you think."


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 is a brand new head

clear without fears and it knows only your name

and baby says, 

"baby you're right but you never win."


and my baby says, 

"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 forevers on your side

oh it's only time

it's longer than you think.


"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)"
