Lyrics

[Chorus]
And on, on and on, and on we go
And on, on and on, and on we go
Love what we had, but now it's gone
Let's leave before we eat each other alive
Alive
[Verse 1]
Same city, yeah, we can't break up
Nice mask on, I wear the same one
The greatest trick that the devil ever pulled
Was convincing women that they look better in their makeup
I wear war paint, right to the casket
Too tired to apologize on this mattress
Emotional detachment, what's the matter?
She's learning that she never shoulda dated a rapper
I don't blame her, my mind is gone
I'm at dinner, checking phone calls, texts, and blogs
I don't hear a word and know nothing at all
Just concerned about the world and my rise and these songs
It goes on and on
Don't wanna break you, but I'm leading you on
O-o-o-o-o-o-on
And now it's gone
[Chorus]
And on, on and on, and on we go
And on, on and on, and on we go
Love what we had, but now it's gone
Let's leave before we eat each other alive
Alive
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You were the love of my life
This time we know, we know, it's over
Over
[Verse 2]
Didn't believe in love, until we fell out
Gave the keys back, now I'm on the homie's couch
Always going out, sleeping 'round with strangers
Danger, but you can't live without her
Now you're paranoid, checking on her cellphone
Making sure she ain't like you, alone
Haven't made love with the lights still on
It's like you're hiding something from me
[Verse 3]
Let's fake another toast to the good life
Predict the future, clean slate, blue sky
And I see a me, husband, and you, wife line
Staring into those two eyes
And I can't take it
Back to where we came from, the pavement
Past emotional earthquake, foundation
Yeah, let's keep swimming in the snake pit
Get bit, get out, then jump back until the suffocation
Make up and fuck the same, it's like, we got this
C'mon, this is just us, baby
And this is just a fight, this is just love, maybe
Is it just you, or am I fucking crazy?
I swear to God
I wish that I could Photoshop the scars off
Cold world and getting my heart thawed
Then I said it all and never got lockjaw
Mouth is a sawed-off shotgun
Any second, could pop off
How's the truth taste?
My job comes with a complimentary toothpaste
Lately, I've been living up outta my suitcase
Building trust and then I'm leaving on Tuesday
Find a one night stand just to bootleg
A duplication of something authentic
Heart augmented
And it's so hard to end it
I said peace before, but this time, I meant it
[Bridge]
Can't get her out of my head
This place is a mess
Holding onto cobwebs
It has us both on the fence
She walks that thin line
In and out of my bed
Each time I love her less
Can't get her out of my head
This place is a mess
Holding onto cobwebs
It has us both on the fence
She walks that thin line
In and out of my bed
Each time I love her less
[Chorus]
And on, on and on, and on we go
And on, on and on, and on we go
Love what we had, but now it's gone
Let's leave before we eat each other alive
Alive
You are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
You were the love of my life
This time we know, we know, it's over
