Lyrics
I was up all night again
After arguin'; We've been goin
Way past bickering
It's scarin me
You've got a blank stare
Like a tired man trying to be there
Whose startin not to care
Do you blame me; do you wanna leave our unhappy home?
Are you thinkin' we'll get through it when you're sittin there alone?
Are we making up, or breaking down?
With silence so loud
& both of us too proud
Are we still sound?
Are we making up or breaking down?
We were perfect lace & leather
Always together
Laughs & lust, hope & trust
But time's been testing us
I keep wishin we were back in Daddy's Ford on Cooper Rd
We did everything together now it's easier alone
REPEAT CHORUS
Part of me wants to grab your hand & fly away
The other part's too tired to make it one more day
Are we making up, or breakin down
I don't believe we are, just another falling star
We were perfect lace & leather
Always together
Laughs & lust, hope & trust
But time's been testing us
