Lost Cause

Say another word
And it all might break
Caught in the middle
But I'm happy to take the blame
What you gain today
You might lose tomorrow
Inconsistencies have always been hard to avoid
I must be in love with the noise

I've watched pretenders lose their minds
And fire turn to ice
Way too many times
While waiting for a sign

Whatever you say
I've heard enough
Whatever you do
I'll stay a lost cause
If I feel that way

I hate to say that I feel no remorse for playing
Yet when I look into the mirror
It's the look of a stranger I am facing
With my mind on the trouble
And the trouble on my mind
I'm pushing and pulling the tides
And I learned it all from you
But it ain't nothing new

I've sailed a hundred thousand seas
Against the strongest streams
And in my defeat
I hoped for it to bring me peace

Whatever you say
I've heard enough
Whatever you do
I'll stay a lost cause
If I feel that way
