neon lights on a cloudy night

midnight buses passing by

walking on the sidewalk with my hand in yours

and it's only when we've had a drink

our best friends say what they all think

that you look at me like the way i look at you

but you talk me down when i try to close the gap

saying that you wanna do me right

cause you know yourself even if we're both in love

you say that you're not good enough

you tell me that you hurt me like they

hurt you cause it's all you know

cause i'm ready for love

but you tell me off

say that i'll fall for a broken heart

but i just wanna hold you like you're holding him

and you tell me i'm different from those guys

so i don't get more than a kiss goodnight

but then you go and break me when you're holding him

i spent the night looking in your eyes

on your bed by the candlelight

talking about your mama fighting with your dad

and the past regards are a bit like me

your latest sticks is the one you see

you're trying but the cycle's not about to stop

but you talk me down when i try to close the gap

saying that you wanna do me right

cause you know yourself even if we're both in love

you say that you're not good enough

you tell me that you hurt me like they

hurt you cause it's all you know

cause i'm ready for love

but you tell me off

say that i'll fall for a broken heart

but i just wanna hold you like you're holding him

and you tell me i'm different from those guys

so i don't get more than a kiss goodnight

but then you go and break me when you're holding him
