Lose Lose

I don't like the way you sound

When you say that to me

You can't tell me what is and isn't allowed

When your tone's off key

'Cause boy, we've been here before

And I know where it leads

Leads to a place we outta tune with each other

The last things that we wanna hear is one another's voices

And then it gets too late to apologize

You're too hard to recognize

And we're too far gone to minimise the damage

We've been 'round and 'round this a thousand times

We're like two ships passin' in the night

Always getting more than we can manage

I don't wanna lose you

I don't wanna have to choose me over you

'Cause baby, that's a lose lose

If you could just be open with me

Tell me what you hope this could be

Here's your opportunity

Five hundred sixty-five days together, but who's countin'?

And we've been fighting every other day together

You say, "Who's counting?" I am (Yeah)

I'm tryna find the blessings, yeah

Among the curses, baby I am

Asking now to find a way to make it work

When it's too late to apologize

You're too hard to recognize

And we're too far gone to minimise the damage, baby

We've been round and round this a thousand times

We're like two ships passin' in the night

Always getting more than we can manage

I don't wanna lose you

I don't wanna have to choose me over you

'Cause baby, that's a lose lose

If you could just be open with me

Tell me what you hope this could be

Here's your opportunity

In this phase, my heart is leadin'

And it rules my belief system

As I tried to adjust to the idea of life without you in it

I don't know if that's winnin' or losin', ah

Right now, all I know is

I don't wanna lose you (Yeah, yeah)

I don't wanna have to choose me over you (No)

'Cause baby, that's a lose lose

(That's a lose lose, that's a lose lose)

If you could just be open with me

Tell me what you hope this could be

Here's your opportunity

Yeah, yeah

Well, here it is, baby (Yeah, yeah)

I put my cards on the table, baby (Ooh)

And now, the ball's in your court, baby
