In the dim lit shadows of the after hours
Sinking in the shallows, reputations sour
What you don't like about me, I hate about myself
Like every actor / actress, out for themselves

(Don't go) I'll get what I can take
(Don't go) Stop my heartbreak

'Cause your next ex lover will discover how your mother fucked you up
No wonder under covers you can't find someone to trust
Oh brother we've been smothered, I guess that makes us...
Harder to love, we give 'em hellfire, yeah

Lots has changed, mainly the price
We pay to play these games, to roll the dice
What you don't know about me never meant much to you
Like a player you can switch me out, anytime you choose

(Don't go) I'll get what I can take
(Don't go) Stop my heartbreak

'Cause your next ex lover will discover how your mother fucked you up
No wonder under covers you can't find someone to trust
Oh brother we've been smothered, I guess that makes us...
Harder to love, we give 'em hellfire
Harder to love, we give 'em hellfire


Should've burned that bridge before you left
Could've learned my lesson before I failed the test
Cruel confessions and brand new lies
I knew the risks I had to try

Now your next ex lover will discover how your mother fucked you up
No wonder under covers you can't find someone to trust
Oh brother we've been smothered, I guess that makes us...
Harder to love, we give 'em hellfire
Harder to love, we give 'em hellfire
Harder to love, we give 'em hellfire
