lyrics
Baby hold that thought
I give up before the battle is fought
Yeah I'm waving the flag
I surrender and I'm not even mad
I just want the talking to stop
I only want the charges dropped
I don't need to be the one who's right
I just want to say goodnight
Come on...baby let's be honest
It's gone...everything we promised
It's wrong...to drag this on
Come on...let's drag it on
It's a common mistake
We ignore the little things we hate
Till we finally break
A smile is just too heavy to fake
I'm tired and I want to get out
I forgot what we were fighting about
Maybe you and I are the same
Neither one of us can change
Come on...baby let's be honest
It's gone...everything we promised
It's wrong..to drag this on
Come on...let's drag it on
On and on and on and on
Pretending that there's nothing
On and on for way too long
I might finally love you when you're gone
Come on...baby let's be honest
It's gone...all the lies we promised
It's wrong..to drag this on
Come on...let's drag it on
On and on and on and on
Pretending that there's nothing wrong
On and on and on and on
Pretending that I'll love you when you're gone
Pretending that I'll love you
Come on...let's drag it on
