Leavers Always Lose First/Losers Always Leave First

so into second intermission,
so impatient with ending our confessions,
we can't ever change with all of these dollar bills we'll never earn
just in case you thought you knew,
you had me held up with you stalling lines
"I just don't know if..."

games are not things I have time for,
let me interfere with your plan, you're just as good off if you just leave now
you'll never get love if you always throw it away

you'll get the lost one's biggest treasure, a heart modified for loving like no other,
don't fear for what you'll lose out on is this magnificent trailer home built from scrap metal,
but I can promise you better nights than the words you lose in fights,

so scream at me for taking you out of the game you set me up with two months ago,
you can't keep what you dreamed up, when you wake up it all vanishes.

this time around, I won't let you let me down, I'll keep you head up to the fan,
so I can hear you scream for me to stop the pain, at a level so much lower than where you put me
as you threw me up against the walls, with your legs around me, and lips dangling on mine,
I will never let this one down, I can keep up with those who've been waiting for a shot

you've kept your promises bleak and disappointing, as I promise to keep on leaving
I will look your way and pray for you to come around one day,
and I won't look back on you, leaver, non-believer, because true love was never love in the first place,
it was just me getting used as always,
we played patty cake on the simple fire that lit up nine hundred miles of lies

and I always walked to you, when you were on your way out, I knew you had nothing left to give,
except another lie, and we all know that's all you're good for, lying
face first into the pillow, screaming - stop hurting me;
oh, you are my heart, soul;
you are me.
As I have thrown the game to show the world how willing I was to lose you,
I've always been losing myself, but I'll never leave
