Waifs - Nothing New lyrics

rate me

I’m going to dress up tonight<br />

And I’ll look real pretty for I don’t know who<br />

I’ll find my own way around this great big city<br />

And I’m gonna sit at a bar and I’ll have a drink<br />

<br />

I’ll leave you to revel in your youthful yearnings<br />

I know you like to visit them from time to time<br />

And like a thief I steal the words you write to her<br />

I take them to my heart and I wish them to be mine<br />

<br />

But this is nothing new<br />

But it ain’t nothing<br />

Well this is nothing new<br />

But it ain’t nothing<br />

<br />

You long for sweetness<br />

Does mine make you sickly<br />

Or maybe I no longer have the sweetness you require<br />

There’s nothing sweet about a heart so embittered<br />

It’s ugly and it’s cold and tonight it’s out for hire<br />

<br />

But it ain’t nothing new<br />

But this ain’t nothing<br />

Well this is nothing new<br />

But it ain’t nothing<br />

<br />

We live through this day after day<br />

And complacency’s a curse<br />

But you just can’t escape it<br />

And I’ve arrived at that place where my tolerance gave way<br />

And I struggle to hold my head up high<br />

<br />

But it ain’t nothing new<br />

Well this is nothing new<br />

But it ain’t nothing
