Must you do this? Treat me ruthless
Make excuses when the truth is that the thought still comes
Now and then, when you're in private
You're considered then the silence tends to sound like drums

You're pretending you don't care
So I'm doing the same
I like you more when you're taken
Oh, Lord, you're good at this game

Don't do me dirty, show me some mercy
Darling, please lay down your weaponry
How did I end up somewhere between a
Lover and a memory?
'Cause I don't believe in a halfway heart
And you gave me all of my favorite scars
How did I end up somewhere between a
Lover and a memory?

I been drinking, I been smoking, I been waiting
I been hoping that there's still some chance
You and me can find a reason to believe in
All them weekends that we used to have

You're pretending you don't care
So I'm doing the same
I like you more when you're taken
Oh, Lord, you're good at this game

Don't do me dirty, show me some mercy
Darling, please lay down your weaponry
(Please lay down your weaponry)
How did I end up somewhere between a
Lover and a memory?

'Cause I don't believe in a halfway heart (A halfway heart)
And you gave me all of my favorite scars
How did I end up somewhere between a (How did I?)
Lover and a memory?

Don't do me dirty, show me some mercy (Oh)
Darling, please lay down your weaponry
How did I end up somewhere between a
Lover and a memory?

'Cause I don't believe in a halfway heart (I don't believe, a halfway heart)
And you gave me all of my favorite scars (You gave me all of my favorite scars)
How did I end up somewhere between a (How did I end up somewhere between a)
Lover and a memory?
