Lyrics - Whiskey & Rent

Well I've known you an hour tonight,

But it feels like a lifetime that went faster than light

And I don't want to close my eyes,

When I wake up tomorrow you'll be out of my life.

I don't want you to walk out that door,

'Cos my heart's on my sleeve and my soul's on the floor,

And I feel like I've been here before,

All these one night charades, I don't want them no more.

Don't want them no more.

Well my time and my patience are spent,

And my wallet is torn between whiskey and rent,

And I wish I'd said stay when she went,

But I still like to dream that she knew what I meant.

My ashtray is full to the brim.

And I hope against hope she loves me and not him,

and I'd do anything to win,

'Cos we all gotta chose if we sink or we swim.

Sink or we swim.

Now I'll never see her again,

There's plenty more fish but the best got away,

Everyone says 'Love's a game',

But if these are the rules then I don't want to play.

My friends tell me 'What can you do?',

When the end is in sight then the goalposts get moved,

And I'm pretty sick of these rules!

This game is for chumps and for losers and fools.

Losers and fools.

My life is a string of mistakes,

And I can't sleep at night cos they keep me awake

It's a cycle I'm trying to break,

You can't live in the past cos the past is a fake.

Tomorrow may be a new day,

But the last ones before it all ended the same,

Where nothing is ever OK,

And there's nothing to do and there's nothing to say.

Nothing to say.

A good woman's so hard to find,

But it's harder to go and leave a bad one behind,

You've got to be cruel to be kind,

Well I can't pull that off cos that's not what I'm like

Not what I'm like.
