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
