Seven Thousand Miles for What? lyrics

[Verse 1]

Since when did you become so cold

And such a life-less piece of work?

I can't take the sound of you anymore

Or the thought of you

[Verse 2]

Don't worry, take what you need

I left you and your dying breed

But before we forget, when the lights burn out

Don't come home crying to me

I will surrender myself

For the better health of someone who really cares

[Chorus]

Why would you throw it away so fast?

It's gotta' get better than this

Too hard for too long, I'm holdin' on

Try to go but it just don't feel right

This light, your eyes, I'm easy

I should've known better by now

But you look so, damn good

[Post-Chorus]

Go get your black dress baby

And put your dancin' shoes on

Go get your black dress baby

And put your dancin' shoes

I swear to God, my intentions were gold

I swear to God, my intentions were gold

[Bridge]

Run away, from your mistakes

Just like the ones you hid from me

Why can't you see that I was expecting this all along?

The road is long, where's the light?

I'm tired of walking alone

Alone. Alone. Alone. Alone

[Outro]

I hope you know, I hope you know

I left you long before you left me

I hope you know, I hope you know

I left you long before you left me

Time's up
