Lost Cause Lyrics
[Intro]
Something’s in the—
[Verse 1]
Something’s in the air right now
Like I’m losin’ track of time (Time, time)
Like I don’t really care right now
But maybe that’s fine
You weren’t even there that day
I was waitin’ on you (You, you)
I wonder if you were aware that day
Was the last straw for me and I knew
[Pre-Chorus]
I sent you flowers
Did you even care?
You ran the shower
And left them by the stairs
Ooh-ooh-ooh, a-a-a-ayy
Thought you had your shit together, but damn, I was wrong (Wrong)
[Chorus]
You ain’t nothin’ but a lost cause (Cause, cause)
And this ain’t nothin’ like it oncе was (Was, was)
I know you think you’re such an outlaw
But you got no job (Job)
You ain’t nothin’ but a lost cause (Cause)
And this ain’t nothin’ likе it once was (Was)
I know you think you’re such an outlaw
But you got no job
[Verse 2]
I used to think you were shy (Shy)
But maybe you just had nothing on your mind
Maybe you were thinkin’ ’bout yourself all the time
I used to wish you were mine (Mine)
But that was way before I realized
Someone like you would always be so easy to find
(So) So easy (So, so)
Hee, mm-mm-mm, mm
[Pre-Chorus]
Gave me no flowers
Wish I didn’t care
You’d be gone for hours
Could be anywhere
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Thought you would’ve grown eventually, but you proved me wrong (Wrong)
[Chorus]
You ain’t nothing but a lost cause (Cause)
And this ain’t nothing like it once was (Was)
I know you think you’re such an outlaw (Yeah)
But you got no job (No job)
You ain’t nothing but a lost cause (Cause)
And this ain’t nothing like it once was (Was)
I know you think you’re such an outlaw (Think you’re such a lost cause)
But you got no job
[Outro]
(What did I tell you?)
(Don’t get complacent)
(It’s time to face it now, na-na, na-na, na-na)
(What did I tell you?)
(Don’t get complacent)
(It’s time to face it now, na-na, na-na, na-na)
