How soon do we forget how we felt
Dealing with emotions that never left
Playing with the hand that we were dealt in this game
Maybe I'm the sinner, and you're the saint
Gotta stop pretending what we ain't
Why we pointing fingers, anyway? When we're the same
Break up, make up, total waste of time
Can we please make up our minds
And stop acting like we're blind?
'Cause if the water dries up and the moon stops shining
Stars fall, and the world goes blind, boy
You know I'll be saving my love for you, for you
'Cause you're the best mistake I've ever made
But we hold on, mmh, hold on
There's no pot of gold in the rainbows we chase
But we hold on (uh-huh), mmh, hold on, eh (yeah)
I guess time's wasting, tick tocking, lip locking
How can we keep the feelings fresh, how do we zip lock it?
Wear your heart up on your sleeves, so watch out for pickpockets
I guess to go the distance we might need to pit stop it
Hold up, I know love could be a beach with no shore
I done count to ten, lost my temper, and went back to four
I know sometimes it's hard to realize I'm the man that you need
I had a dream we branched out, started a family tree
And I feel like that everything we do is overdue
You ask why I love your mom so much 'cause she's a older you
I wish that you were happy, I guess that's the one thing I should be providing
Ain't no number twos, we both ones of ones and we the oddest
Couple only humans 'cept you, you a goddess
Only lying to you when I lie you down, just being honest
When you start as friends, it's hard to say you're never going back
If I'm not the one, then I'm the best mistake you ever had
Break up, make up, total waste of time
Can we please make up our minds?
And stop acting like we're blind
'Cause if the water dries up and the moon stops shining
Stars fall, and the world goes blind boy
You know I'll be saving my love for you, for you
'Cause you're the best mistake I've ever made
But we hold on, mmh, hold on
There's no pot of gold in the rainbows we chase
But we hold on, mmh, hold on, eh
You're, you're, you're, you're, mmh
I'll be saving my love for you, for you
You're, you're, you're, you're, mmh
I'll be saving my love for you, for you
