And I am learning to accept myself,
And I am getting better and I’m teaching myself to survive.
I’m getting older and I’m learning to hold my tongue,
But being honest isn’t easy when you feel dumb.
We play but we play for keeps.
You leave the door unlocked, you gotta deal with the creeps.
And we stay,
Fucked up.
She is the things that she does,
And if you couldn’t have her now then she was never worth the buzz.
We live with the people we are,
You told me anything in life worth doing is gonna be hard.
I’ve never spoken to the people who live next door,
Maybe they represent the shit that I try to ignore.
I’m getting older and I’m learning to hold my peace,
But being sober doesn’t help when I can’t find my keys.
We play but we play for keeps,
You leave the door unlocked, you gotta deal with the creeps.
We pay for our wasted love,
You say you like drugs, do I like drugs?
She is the things that she does,
She said I better tell you now before you fall in love.
We live with the people we are,
You told me anything in life worth doing is gonna be hard.
