can't take much more

dressed in lace,
head to toe,
love's just a race,
but why no one knows

it's perfectly clear that I'm losing this race,
false starts only end in broken hearts,
and this is always the case

so why don't I just drop out of this game
I've tried and failed and failed again
the case is always the fucking same

madness in the moonlight
disappears with the stars
the sun is shining bright
and all I can do is try to shrug it off

they say this is the straw that broke the camel's back,
they say I can't take much more
but my back was broken to begin with,
and all I can do is keep my eyes to the floor
