Lost Cause

You might as well beat me 'till I'm black and blue
This feeling is stuck to me like it's crazy glue
Is perfect love to good to be true
Now that the devil broke my heart and tempted you?
How did you turn to a shade of gray?
Your heart went black and turned on me one day
You betrayed my trust - you betrayed my love
When you slept with my best friend
You slept with my blood!

A LOST CAUSE Of lost hopes and dreams
AN EMPTY SHADOW Of what used to be
A LOST CAUSE!

I'm too young to stop having fun
And I'd rather shoot myself with a loaded gun
Then love some chick that left me high and dry
And cheated on me with another guy
You decided your fate, now live with it!
You want to be friends but I could give a shit!
I was in it for love and you left for lust
You can't control your hunger or your thirst!

A LOST CAUSE Of lost hopes and dreams
AN EMPTY SHADOW Of what used to be
A LOST CAUSE!

Your actions speak louder than words can express
Out of fear and desperation I'm put to the test
You could've - avoided - this train wreck
And still walked away with your self-respect
A LOST CAUSE Of lost hopes and dreams
AN EMPTY SHADOW Of what used to be
A LOST CAUSE!

There are some things in life that you've got to learn
And the number one lesson is that you don't burn
The bridges - you've built - no reason at all
Because in the end your ass will always fall

A LOST CAUSE Of lost hopes and dreams
AN EMPTY SHADOW Of what used to be
A LOST CAUSE!
