So I'm heading off to find myself a new face

I'm sick of staring at these thick red lines

Trust the second thought, the first is a dirty liar

The kind who'll kick out all your good friends

When you're out of luck, out of heart, out of whiskey

You're out of courage, out of kicks, out of cares



But all your past kisses they sting like near misses

I'm tempted to drop my guard just so you can plant one on

But I'm stubborn as a thirsty mule being led to a clear pool

Everyone's moving on and I'm still stuck on you



I ain't gonna write no more love songs

Cause they will stay after you're long gone

It's a dangerous game to play



This crippled old Matador is still seeing red you know

Going toe to toe every time he sees a bull

And every single blow reminds him of a youthful tune

Every single fall is a certainty he's clinging to



I ain't gonna write no more love songs

Cause they will stay after you're long gone

It's a dangerous game to play



I guess we said it all

So disconnect the phone

First night on my own

I'm not thinking of you



I guess we said it all

So disconnect the phone

The first night on my own

I'm not thinking of you



I ain't gonna write no more love songs

Cause they will stay after you're long gone

I ain't gonna write no more love songs

Cause they will stay after you're long gone

It's a dangerous game to play



(I like the fast ones anyway)
