Playing With Matches - Worth Fighting For lyrics

rate me

By shot three I've got the fortitude

to move past the prelude

and explain how this escalates.

I left her with an incomplete goodbye,

then caught the midnight flight,

the cliche plain that took me away

from my baby that night.

And it might be naive

cursing the day I left,

the day you got fed up and said...

If I told you this was foolishness

would you throw in the towel tonight.

I shrugged to confess probably

and she told me I was right.

She said I'll say this once more,

it's just a waste of time unless

it's worth fighting for.

She said distance and relationship

in the same sentence

and she could tell I wasn't interested.

I was in love enough with myself

for the both of us,

we beat around the bush

as my mouth looked

for the proper words to leave.

By last call I'm irrational...

scrolling through my phone

trying to find your name.

I want to say the things

that I don't mean,

and make promises that I can't keep.

The message beeps and

I guess I'm still looking

for the proper words to leave.
