Tough Luck

She puts her pen to paper

Lines across their hearts

You did it all to raise her

You left her standing in the dark

This time she’s praying for silence

Hoping that you would understand

She’s just building these roadworks

So it’s clearer when it’ll end

You can’t still own what you let go

What don’t you understand?

[Chorus:]

Tough luck I said I’d be here in a month but you waited too

Only coming back ‘round because you heard I was with someone new

And I was waiting here to you came back

My heart was bleeding black

It’s tough luck that I’m giving you, it’s tough luck on you

He asked a question, she answers

He made a crossword spelling guilt

Empty boxes filled with chances

But you just can’t leave the rose to wilt

You can’t still own what you let go

What don’t you understand?

[Chorus x3]
