Something to Lose

I know when the lights dim what you’re all about
You can get your mouth in if you leave your heart out
Let’s not lie, you took it this far
Better watch it now before you fall too hard

You may think I’m beautiful but as anyone can see
There are so many things shattered hearts need
There are things about me you will never know
So shut your lips baby and just it let go

You never learned to love, I understand
Follow me close and I’ll hold your hand
If I ever want this passionless life
I’ll be back in your bed every night

You make me miss all of the ways
I used to hate myself, those angry clichés
That scream to you don’t linger here
Don’t fall in love, don’t be sincere

All there is here is something to lose
Melancholy hearts don’t want to choose
So leave me here with a void to fill before
I find the boy who will love me more

You can’t love me until you get over you
So hush now baby, and darken the room
When the lights go out we both know
There’s no room here for love to grow

You better keep your heart out and close your eyes
This numbness should be no surprise
It’s nothing special and it’s nothing new
But there’s no way I could ever love you.

And your heart is racing as I kiss your lips
But I hope you know I’m thinking they’re his
Don’t take it personally, broken hearts tend
To take a few beatings before they can mend.
