The Simple Act of Giving Up

Here I go again, put me on the first train heading eastbound
And if by June I'm still alive, I promise not to tell my dad I'm miserable
But thanks for all the sacrifice
Cause I'm ashamed of the things that I did
I said whatever it took just to get her in bed and
It's kinda fun when you're only a kid
But you grow up to learn that the scars you cut are permanent
But I haven't had one drink in three whole years
There's no need for drinking when you're not here
Do you find it amusing I'm seeing clear?
In this haze of hateful atmosphere

So come on we're not fooling anybody tonight
We're the king and queen of social suicide
And things are better now knowing that we've never felt anyone else

So take me out, cause I'm a mess when I'm alone
Oh and if anyone can help, I think I'm losing it
I grab and hold on tightly but i start to slip
I've got a problem with my self control (Hold on)
I fall in love when I'm with any girl (Honest)
They got it wrong saying love is blind it's fine
It's just disguised as sex tonight

And it's too hard to deny
Cause she's got that dress on
You know the one that shows off the things that she can do to me
And I'm taking lessons how not to beg for sex
It's just a side effect we're feeling from the ectasy

So come one we're not getting any younger tonight
Your the gracious host and I'm the parasite
It's the simple act of growing old
Mixed in with chemicals
And we're the end results, slow down
Cause I can tell when you're aroused, like now

So take, take me out, cause I'm a mess when I'm alone
Oh and if anyone can help, I think I'm losing it
I grab and hold on tightly but i start to slip
I've got a problem with my self control (Hold on)
I fall in love when I'm with any girl (Honest)
They got it wrong saying love is blind it's fine
It's just disguised as sex tonight

And as long as I'm alive
I'll try to mend this broken future we call life
I'm feeling better all the time
Pretend you care for me tonight
It's safe to say that I'll be fine, this time

So take me out, cause I'm a mess when I'm alone
And if anyone can help, I'm losing it
So this one goes out, to all you lovestruck fools
I've got news for you, I know a thing or two on giving up
To all you heartless souls I think it's best you know i play the leading role on giving up

To all you lovestruck fools, we've got news for you
We know a thing or two on giving up
To all you heartless souls, we think it's best you know, we play the leading role on giving up
