Five Times August

Luckiest of Suckers

Five Times August


So what you've been doing to me 
has got to be the greatest unknown
And what you've been trying to keep 
I bet you didn't mean to let go
Now it's obvious that my loneliness 
is irrelevant but I can't let it show
I'm writing you letters, making things better 
but you'll never be the same to me

(chorus)
Baby, you've changed me for good
It's understood you don't want me hanging
Maybe I'm hanging on love
And love alone has got me chasing
The shorter skirts, the bigger flirts,
The ones that won't hurt me like you
But I do, feel like the luckiest of suckers to lose

So what you've been saying to me so playfully 
is so painfully erasing away
Everyday is the same, it's a game, it's a shame 
but don't blame me, cause you came to me

(chorus)

(bridge)
Don't blame it on the same old songs
I see so clear my dear… 
There's only one thing you're missing
But don't expect to get it from me

Everyday is the same, it's a game, it's a shame 
but don't blame me, cause you came to me
