The start: it's another long night
And i'm already tired.
I haven't slept right in weeks now,
So there's no question why
I didn't even want to come out tonight.

Once we figured things out you made
It look so easy to shrug this off
And put it down to you
And your fading attempt to be
Young and reckless because you've already bitten
Off more than you could chew.

The end: i'd like to say we told things straight
But that would be lying.
We haven't spoken in months now
But asking is worth a try;
"won't you take me out?
'cause i'm alone tonight".

Once we figured things out you made
It look so easy to shrug this off
And put it down to you
And your fading attempt to be
Young and reckless because you've already bitten
Off more than you could chew.

I shouldn't care.
It won't ever come to this.
It's only points you'll miss.
It won't ever come to this.
