Lisa Miskovsky - Acceptable Losses Lyrics lyrics

rate me

Main street's empty in the evening chill

From courthouse tower to griffin mill

Small signs of winter comes creeping down the hills

I saw your shadow on Jackson St.

where the zombie-eyed kids and the speed-queens meet

It's been a long time running through my veins this long lost dream

And I tear it apart and I burn it all down 'cuz I have to

God gave me permission to do what it takes to find you

All the friends I betrayed all the enemies made in the process

We've all done the same we're just carrying different crosses

I'm feeling no pain baby - it's acceptable losses

This place got dark in the year's that passed

The store-fronts blown I guess nothing lasts

The fighting at the bars still draw wired vengeful crowds

I followed our trail down to Rosewood Park

As the shadows grow tall and the stars come out

Were the backseat lovers used to park their daddy's cars

And I tear it apart and burn it all down 'cuz I have to

Made a deal with a man at the crossroads who knew where to find you

All the friends I betrayed all the enemies made in the process

Our pain feels the same we're just carrying different crosses

It's all in the game baby - it's acceptable losses

They found your car down the Suicide Bridge

Where the Johnson twins became newsflash kids

But I know you so much better don't believe you'd call it quits

Now I got an old address and I'm waiting there

In the first light of morning at the fire stairs

I can hear someone's coming and suddenly I'm scared

'Cause you ripped me apart and I ran for my life couse I had to

My heart won't stop bleeding and I'm no longer sure if i want it to

All the friends I betrayed all the enemies made in the process

They're all going down in a accounts of acceptable losses

It's all in the game baby - it's acceptable losses
