My evening began in search of perfection, I only found you after a midnight rejection
Everything that follows is my confession, you’re the penance that I have to pay
She came to me, she looked me up, at the edge of the field, where we parked the truck
We ran through the bases, and then we made love on the mound
Why…are you always there
Why…do you always care
You’re the one who shoulda given up on me, a long time ago
For reasons you know
For reasons you know…
She was lying at home, lying alone, tryin to pick up the pieces of a life she had known
She knew it couldn’t stay, she threw it all away when she answered the phone
Well I said hello, baby, how have you been,
She said cut to the chase, just tell me where and when
I said I’ll be there in ten, and I don’t care where we go, I just don’t wanna be alone
Cry, and tell me we’re wrong
Lie, don’t just play along
You’re the one who shoulda given up on me, a long time ago
For Reasons You know
For Reasons You know
Cry, and tell me we’re wrong
Lie, don’t just play along
You’re the one who shoulda given up on me, a long time ago
For reasons you know
For reasons you know…
Why…are you always there
Why…do you always care
You’re the one who shoulda given up on me, a long time ago
For reasons you know
For reasons you know…
