You might as well beat me 'till I'm black and blue

This feeling is stuck to me like it's crazy glue

Is perfect love to good to be true

Now that the devil broke my heart and tempted you?

How did you turn to a shade of gray?

Your heart went black and turned on me one day

You betrayed my trust - you betrayed my love

When you slept with my best friend

You slept with my blood!



A LOST CAUSE Of lost hopes and dreams

AN EMPTY SHADOW Of what used to be

A LOST CAUSE!



I'm too young to stop having fun

And I'd rather shoot myself with a loaded gun

Then love some chick that left me high and dry

And cheated on me with another guy

You decided your fate, now live with it!

You want to be friends but I could give a shit!

I was in it for love and you left for lust

You can't control your hunger or your thirst!



A LOST CAUSE Of lost hopes and dreams

AN EMPTY SHADOW Of what used to be

A LOST CAUSE!



Your actions speak louder than words can express

Out of fear and desperation I'm put to the test

You could've - avoided - this train wreck

And still walked away with your self-respect

A LOST CAUSE Of lost hopes and dreams

AN EMPTY SHADOW Of what used to be

A LOST CAUSE!



There are some things in life that you've got to learn

And the number one lesson is that you don't burn

The bridges - you've built - no reason at all

Because in the end your ass will always fall



A LOST CAUSE Of lost hopes and dreams

AN EMPTY SHADOW Of what used to be

A LOST CAUSE!
