lyrics

Oh babe nothing was wrong and they all came along and they opened the door
First it was all just a game but each time it was a little bit more
It was a lie, did you know it was a lie? I didn't know about that
It wasn't right and we tried to look alive, it was nothing like that

I give my word for all it is worth, if I can do just that from my death to my birth
Maybe that part of me deteriorating really will grow back

I never really stood a chance out there, or anywhere
because the good ones like the bad
It never was about the way I walk, the way I talk
It’s just that the good ones finish last

Hey babe here’s a flower and a piece of my heart, also a chunk of my pride
And when you’re done with the laughters you know I’ll still be waiting outside
With every hour I become a different man, I’m as changing as time
Out on a limb, as the world around me smiles, do you see it as a sign

I made a man out of what I believe to be the next best plan. I’m right on the eve
If there’s a place to stand, a magical means to make them understand

I never really stood a chance out there, or anywhere
because the good ones like the bad
It never was about the way I walk, the way I talk
It’s just that the good ones finish last
