Lyrics
When the yellow of the cigarette stains my teeth
And the holes in my shoes don't support my feet
Will you still love me, keep me holding on
When I ask you if you care, would you tell the truth
I've been thinking in the end, it's all up to you
Do you still need it, where do we go wrong
I don't want to waste my lungs
I don't want to start a fire if you ain't the one
You know I'll never shake your bones unless we break in trust
And I just don't know how to say it
This ain't right for us to keep it up
Wait, I don't want, I don't want to wait, I don't want
Wait, I don't want, I don't want to wait, I don't want
When the paper in my pocket isn't there no more
And the memories we have are long and gone
Will you still love me, keep me holding on
When I ask you if you care, would you tell the truth
I've been thinking in the end, it's all up to you
Do you still need it, where do we go wrong
And I don't want to waste my lungs
I don't want to start a fire if you ain't the one
You know I'll never shake your bones unless we break in trust
And I just don't know how to say it
This ain't right for us to keep it up
Wait, I don't want
Wait, I don't want
I don't want to wait
I don't want
Wait, I don't want
I don't want to wait, I don't want
Wait, I don't want
I don't want to waste my lungs
I don't want to start a fire if you ain't the one
You know I'll never shake your bones unless we break in trust
And I just don't know how to say it
This ain't right for us to keep it up
(You know, the whole idea of happiness and pleasure)
(Is uh, a lot of it revolves around people wanting to be around you)
(And a lot of it revolves around)
(the opposite sex wanting to be around you)
(And for most of us, you know)
(Reality is most of us are not that attractive)
(You know? There's just not that many)
(people that are always really attracted to you)
(For a lot of people, their life is a constant series of rejections)
(you know)
(I have a friend who I, he will remain nameless)
(but we had a conversation where he was uh)
(He was, getting dumped, and he was super upset about it)
(he didn't know how to deal with it, and he was asking for advice)
(And I said, do you love this girl? And he said 'yes')
(and I said well if you love her, you should want her to be happy)
(And if her being happy means)
(her being with another man or another person)
(You should respect that and you should love her still)
(And go, 'this is just a human being')
(and people break up and I don't hate everyone I used to date)
(In fact with time, I love all of them)
(even the ones I didn't get along with, man)
(When I look back at every single girl that I ever dated)
(I swear to God, I only will allow the positive thing)
(I have some negative stories that are really funny that I tell)
(But in my mind, when I'm thinking about that person)
(I only think about them when I love them)
(No matter what horrible thing was said, you know)
(that made the whole thing fall apart)
(I refuse to define them by that)
(and I instead define them by their potential)
(By what they meant to me, when they were at their best)
