Hoping you would quote unquote be the one
Now you're just one of the few
One of the few
Could I be so bold?
Bold to say that you wanted it, too
You wanted it, too
(Tell me I'm lying)
Tell me I'm lying
And another word I won't say
Tell me I'm trying too hard
And I'll walk away
Sick of the songs about breaking up at home
And breaking down on the road
But I'm still out here
Killing the local scene
Dying to live the dream
But I don't want to wake up screaming
All I am is life in vain
You never loved someone ‘til they were gone
You never needed money ‘til you had none
I used to have some
I had some, I had someone
Until she said
Now you can write a sad song
Well, is that all that you wanted?
And if I don't, am I haunted?
And am I life in vain?
Told myself I wouldn't do this again
Told myself that if I did, you would win
That I would bury the pain
But if I do refrain
All I am is life in vain
All I am is life in vain
(Tell me I'm lying)
All I am is life in vain
(Tell me I'm lying)
Yea, all I am is life in vain
(Tell me I'm lying)
