lyrics
I can't believe the luck I'm havin, think I deserve better than this
It's true I just can't win for losin, my fortune's trapped in an abyss
You break our dates and I'm still there, you brush me off and you don't care
I stick around and take it in, roll with your punches, let you win
Lately I realize that it's me that is the one that's wrong, I see
While I'm here waitin by my phone I could be better off alone
I really would like to believe you that you're the way you seemed to be
But that face is looking real familiar so don't expect a sale to me
You break our dates and I'm still there, you brush me off and you don't care
I stick around and take it in, roll with your punches, let you win
Lately I realize that it's me that is the one that's wrong, I see
Yes ma'am, I'm givin you this tone cuz I'll be better off alone
It's true I just can't win for losin, my fortune's trapped in an abyss
You break our dates and I'm still there, you brush me off and you don't care
I stick around and take it in, roll with your punches, let you win
Lately I realize that it's me that is the one that's wrong, I see
While I'm here waitin by my phone I could be better off alone
I really would like to believe you that you're the way you seemed to be
But that face is looking real familiar so don't expect a sale to me
You break our dates and I'm still there, you brush me off and you don't care
I stick around and take it in, roll with your punches, let you win
Lately I realize that it's me that is the one that's wrong, I see
Yes ma'am, I'm givin you this tone cuz I'll be better off alone
