I’ve been burned out
I’ve been hated
I’ve been fucked up
And unsophisticated
A little foolish
A little jaded
I ain’t complaining
That karma’s been back-dated

And there’s nobody fading away here
Goddammit, well, it’s been this way for years

It’ll live forever
Just how it goes
Ain’t nothing better
Than mother-fucking rock & roll
It’ll never stop
We’ll never fold
Do yourself a favor
Turn off your radio

And there ain’t nobody fading away here
Goddammit well it’s been this way for years
It’s been this way for years
Goddammit well it’s been this way for years

Goddammit well it’s been this way for years
Goddammit well it’s been this way for years
Goddammit well it’s been this way for years

I’ve been burned out
I’ve been hated
I’ve been fucked up
And unsophisticated
A little foolish
I barely made it
Told me to pay a price
So I fucking paid it

But there’s nobody fading away here
Goddammit well it’s been this way for years
Goddammit well it’s been this way for years
Goddammit well it’s been this way for years
Yes

Goddammit well it’s been this way for years
Goddammit well it’s been this way for years
Goddammit well it’s been this way for years

Goddammit well it’s been this way for years
It’s been this way for years
Goddammit well it’s been this way for years
Goddammit well it’s been this way for years
Goddammit well it’s been this way for years

nothing

Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I’m better off now
Than I ever was with her
As they take me to my local down the street
I’m smiling but I’m dying, trying not to drag my feet

They say a few drinks
Will help me to forget her
But after one too many,
I know that I’m never
Only they can see where this is gonna end
But they all think I’m crazy but to me it’s perfect sense

And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
‘Cause I’m shouting your name all over the town
I’m swearing if I go there now
I can change your mind, turn it all around

I know that I’m drunk but I see the worst
If she’ll listen this time even though this lust
I’ll dial her number and confess to her
I’m still in love but all I heard was nothing

So I stumble there,
along the railings and the fences
I know I’m with her face to face,
that she’ll come to her senses
Every drunk stand by tend leads me to her door
If she sees how much I’m hurting, she’ll take me back for sure

And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
‘Cause I’m shouting your name all over the town
I’m swearing if I go there now
I can change your mind, turn it all around

And I know that I’m drunk but I see the worst
If she’ll listen this time even though this lust
I’ll dial her number and confess to her
I’m still in love but all I heard was nothing

She said nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing
I got nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing

Oh, sometimes love’s intoxicating
Oh, you’re coming down, your hands are shaking
When you realize there’s no one waiting

Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I’m better off now
Then I ever was with her

And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
‘Cause I’m shouting your name all over the town
I’m swearing if I go there now
I can change your mind, turn it all around

And I know that I’m drunk but I see the worst
If she’ll listen this time even though this lust
I’ll dial her number and confess to her
I’m still in love but all I heard was nothing

She said nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing
I got nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing

Oh, I got nothing
I got nothing
I got nothing
I got nothing

I heard that you’re settled down,
That you found a girl
And you’re married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things
I didn’t give to you

Old friend,
Why are you so shy?
Ain’t like you to hold back
Or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn’t stay away,
I couldn’t fight it.
I’d hoped you’d see my face
And that you’d be reminded
That for me,
It isn’t over

Never mind I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you two
Don’t forget me, I beg
I remember, you said
“Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead”
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Yeah

You’d know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise
Of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn’t stay away,
I couldn’t fight it
I’d hoped you’d see my face
And that you’d be reminded
That for me,
It isn’t over

Never mind I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you two
Don’t forget me, I beg
I remember, you said
“Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead”

Nothing compares,
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes,
They’re memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet
This would taste

Never mind, I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don’t forget me, I beg
I remember you said
“Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead”

Never mind, I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you two
Don’t forget me, I beg
I remember you said
“Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead”
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Yeah, Yeah
