lyrics

If a bird in one hand is worth two with one stone
Or something like that
So they say

Then maybe they’d understand how to get cross the road
and make it back home
at the end of the day

I like a good challenge
But I’m not so sure
That this is a game that’s worth winning

So I’m gonna give up
And I’m gonna give in
Cause I’m just too tired of pretending

And if I learned from my past maybe I’d stop repeating
The things that feel good
But hurt you so bad

Some people love to get used, I just love to feel needed
I guess to make up for
The things that I lack

I like a good challenge
But I’m not so sure
That this is a game that’s worth winning

So I’m gonna give up
And I’m gonna give in
Cause I’m just too tired of pretending
Yeah I’m just too tired of pretending

If actions speak louder than words
Then why can’t I seem to be heard?

I guess we’re all wearing masks and we all are uncertain
Don’t know what we’re doing
Don’t know what we’ve done

I guess the only sure bet is we’re gonna be hurting
And when it’s all over
We won’t know who won
(We won’t care who won)

I like a good story
But I’m not so sure
How I’m gonna rewrite the ending

So I’m gonna give up
And I’m gonna give in
Cause I’m just too tired of pretending
I get so damn tired of pretending
I wish we could both stop pretending
