Lovers Always Lose

I got you a present
I hope that you like it
Something I saw and I thought of you
And what kind of person
Knows all the tree names
And loves every sky, whether stormy or blue

So why why why why, as we stand in the sunshine
Do we cry cry cry cry like this isn't all true?
Looks like they made us from clay
And it's raining a little bit every day

So help me
If we're lovers then we're screwed
Oh cause lovers always lose
I'll leave roses in your room
Oh cause lovers always lose
Forget what we said
Burn up the bed
I'd rather be lonely
Somebody spare me
Cause we're lovers, me and you
Oh and lovers always lose

They warned us about this
I think, in a movie
But I wasn't watching and neither were you
If you sent a postcard
From some sunny somewhere
I think I might frame it
But what would that do?

So why why why why, as we stand in the sunshine
Do we cry cry cry cry like this isn't all true?
Looks like they made us from clay
And it's raining a little bit every day

So help me
If we're lovers then we're screwed
Oh cause lovers always lose
I'll leave roses in your room
Cause lovers always lose
Forget what we said
Burn up the bed
I'd rather be lonely
Somebody spare me
Cause we're lovers, me and you
Oh and lovers always lose

Isn't it sort of like gravity
Something that we can't see
But it's pulling us down
If I had a stomach for tragedy
I would jump up on a chair and say something profound
But everything sort of feels sad to me
Like how I miss you sometimes
Even when you're around

So help me
If we're lovers then we're screwed
Oh cause lovers always lose
I'll leave roses in your room
Oh cause lovers always lose
Forget what we said
Burn up the bed
I'd rather be lonely
Somebody spare me
Cause we're lovers, me and you
Oh and lovers always lose
Lovers always lose
