lyrics

Can't make them all happy
Spent too long playing love's lackey
Everyone thinks I'm one disappointment away from falling apart
But trust in me, I excel in the abstract art of reconstructing a broken heart
Maybe I'll never learn, but I'll never grow
If the best I can give is a cameo behind this neon glow
I'll take my chance, engage in this dance, and wonder how at first glance...

I don't love like I used to
But don't give up on me
'Cus I won't give up on you

Just like everyone else, I'll go my own way
I don't want to always play it safe
It's hard to keep it all in check
When the world's having fun and you just feel like a train wreck
I've stood and watched, an innocent bystander to my own disasters
Give me control, I want happiness back just a little bit faster
It took me a long time to put all the pieces in place
I'm doing just fine everyone, this is my poker face
I sing this just in case

I don't love like I used to
But don't give up on me
'Cus I won't give up on you

Hold on for tomorrow
Be quiet, turn up the radio
I'm searching for you in the audio
Oh it's such a painful time to pretend

I don't love like I used to
But don't give up on me
'Cus I won't give up on you
