Cheap Kind

Reaching up to feel an earring is missing
Don't search the street
You're nearly home
You know it's gone

This is why you always buy the cheap kind
No use lamenting whats so easily replaced
But picture you rolling in the gutter
Soon forgotten and rarely if ever missed

See this is why we don't have nice things
You know you're only going to lose them
This is why i'm scared to try
Afraid i'm only going to lose

You're prone to getting too comfortable
Better to keep you on your toes before you get to be
Too much to handle
This is why you ought to stay a stranger
Feign allure then slink away to waste
Before you get into trouble
Try to have some self control

This is why we don't have nice things
You know you're only going to lose them
This is why i'm scared to try
Afraid i'm only going to lose

He gave you such a pretty ring
You swore it'd never leave your finger
No need to show him you were careless
Don't let him see the stone broke already
Don't let him know he could do better
Just glue the pieces back together
Just let him go he could do better

This is why we don't have nice things
You know you're only going to lose them
This is why i'm scared to try
Afraid i'm only going to lose
