Lost Cause

I really shouldn't think of you as an exception
Tell myself you were sleeping so you missed my message
And it's okay that what we are's a constant question
Anyway

Put down a boundary just to cross it back and kiss you
Loosening loopholes that I'm only gonna trip through
The logical part of my brain knows it's an issue
Anyway

I'm raising the sound on the TV
Try to drown out the way that I'm feeling

I care too much, and you try too little
I'm saying, "Love," and you're non-committal
I'm hanging on, and I'm hoping it'll
Grow, but I know it's a lost cause

But then there you go with your arms around me
Making it seem like you're not just lonely
And I pretend that it's me and me only
Oh, but I know it's a lost cause

I really feel like there's something that you're resisting
You're scared of hurting, so you keep it at a distance
That's what I told myself, it kinda makes a difference
Anyway

I'm raising the sound on the TV
Try to drown out the way that I'm feeling

I care too much, and you try too little
I'm saying, "Love," and you're non-committal
I'm hanging on, and I'm hoping it'll
Grow, but I know it's a lost cause

But then there you go with your arms around me
Making it seem like you're not just lonely
And I pretend that it's me and me only
Oh, but I know it's a lost cause

Can't help feeling like this might be something
(Oh, but I know, it's a lost cause)
Dead end, but I keep the car running
(Oh, but I know, it's a lost cause)
There I go again making something out of nothing
(Oh, but I know, it's a lost cause)
Dead end, but I keep the car running
