i saw you wave goodbye and play it off as so romantic
i thought it cute and couldn't help it as my
strength inside failed to ward off your advances
and now i'm, i'm caught up in politics and lies
as entertainers we try and sing this same song every night
i'm tired of trying to treat you like
you ever mattered enough for me to put in this kind of time
or any time at all, i swear

slow down just enough to fake this
cause there's way too much riding on an educated guess
i couldn't live without just calm down
enough to get me through this and lay back
so i can really get a chance tonight
to play out the process while lost in the moment
where i know this is right

with my arms around you
i'm trying to tune out everything that anyone has said
but who can forget the past
that's so ripe that with lies and deceit that
i'm stuck debating to ask you, with all you've done
can you remember how it feels to be in love

even though the stakes were high
the prize i won, well, just wasn't that fantastic
it's left me bruised and wondering how and why i am
i'm living the politicians life
where it's more important to save my image than save my soul

i guess that's how i survived and oh, there's a certain part of me
that knows they're right
and i hope you know that i know
but until i care too muh i'll just

slow down just enough to fake this
cause there's way too much riding on an educated guess
i couldn't live without just calm down
enough to get me through this and lay back
so i can really get a chance tonight
to play out the process while lost in the moment
where i know this is right

i tried my best to make an offer
you tried your best to meet my demands
