I’ve got one. Or two. or just a few reasons that I’m over your abuse. You used to be a tattoo now you’re just a bad bruise You were always bad news. But I couldn’t refuse, everything we always got to do when I was with you I could've said the right thing I should've said the wrong thing, now Could’ve said the right thing Almost said the wrong thing all along Nothing will change, nothing will change, nothing will Nothing will change, if stay the same, cause I, I need a push from an old friend cause my wheels are stuck again, and again and again and again Give me the check or give me death Take me to court so I can take you to bed It wasn’t the irony that killed me cause I found peace it was the melody that song was the remedy that fixed me I could've said the right thing Should've said the wrong thing all along Nothing will change, nothing will change, nothing will Nothing will change, if stay the same, cause I, I need a push from an old friend cause my wheels are stuck again, and again and again and again Cause I got one. Or two. Or just a few reasons that I'm finally over you. You used to be a tattoo now you’re just a bad bruise you were always bad news But I couldn’t refuse everything we always got to do when I was with you Cause you’re just another love song

The Outfield 03:19
I was flooded with memories as I received the news You were 4 years my elder, taken 40 years too soon On your way, to see your daughter's first softball game A surprise for her cause she thought you we’re working late You said I was stupid, Can’t tell me what to do. I never had a plan, I never follow through I always learn the hard way, I don’t know what to do But you always picked me up when I fell in front of you I keep my posters on my wall where your picture used to be It hard to look at these days I keep my posters on the wall where your pictures used to be It’s hard to look at, so hard to look at And as time ticks by all you got are love notes and polaroids I wish I could see the sunset Big and beautiful like her eyes But lately they’ve been hurting Cause life took you at 25 Your baby she’s crying Cause daddy’s never coming home And now your lady’s hurting Cause you two were gonna grow old Them she finds out you got a son on the way She falls to her knees, and she starts to pray Begging for you to come home Cryin’ for you to come home I keep my posters on my wall where your picture used to be It hard to look at these days I keep my posters on the wall where your pictures used to be It’s hard to look at, so hard to look at And as time ticks by all you got are love notes and Polaroids

Ive been sitting around wasting all my time hoping you would call me tonight Staring in the mirror at the man that I don’t recognize But ill go out alone and walk the line between the safe and unknown Head down and fingers crossed searching the streets for more broken hearts We’re the young and the hated We’re graceful but jaded to the world thats let us down more than we can count We’re the young and the hated We’re graceful but jaded All we can do is look to the east and wait for the fire After all of this time I felt so low, You’re still a ghost that I just don’t know its not me, so it must be you but Ill spend another night with this bottle alone I don’t need your pity, I don’t want anything you have to give I don’t need your pity I don’t want it so you can take it We’re the young and the hated We’re graceful but jaded to the world thats let us down more than we can count We’re the young and the hated We’re graceful but jaded All we can do is look to the east and wait for the fire Turn off the lights, open the window I need to hear a sound I know Cover me like a wave, Let it take me Im thinking again, drown the sound In anything or everything that you can find (Im not the only one that wants to be alone tonight) We’re the young and the hated I put up a fight, she wins every time, I’ll get over it (You don’t have to be confident, you just gotta sell it)
