the cut and run routine

Singer:dashboard confessional

so

i've seen the truth is

that you've been leaving since the day you showed

oh well

i've seen your little cut and run routine

enough times now to have it memorized

so there's no surprises

oh it's sad enough to be a fine mess

but it's shaping up to be a cold and lonely party

for a cold and lonely girl

with her sights set on the big exit

with a chase and a catch and some makeup sex

so it feels a bit less lonely

for a cold and lonely girl

so

i could see the angles you play

and i've been your game since the day you showed

oh well

i've had you about as much i wanted

enough times now to have it memorized

so there's no surprises

oh it's sad enough to be a fine mess

but it's shaping up to be a cold and lonely party

for a cold and lonely girl

with her sights set on the big exit

with a chase and a catch and some makeup sex

so it feels a bit less lonely

for a cold and lonely girl

all i ever wanted for you was to stand on your own

all i ever wanted for you was to stand on your own

sure

there's no surprises

oh it's sad enough to be a fine mess

but it's shaping up to be a cold and lonely party

for a cold and lonely girl

with her sights set on the big exit

with a chase and a catch and some makeup sex

so it feels a bit less lonely

for a cold and lonely girl

so it feels a bit less lonely

for a cold and lonely girl

so it feels a bit less lonely

for a cold and lonely girl like you
