That's me there out by the door, standing alone in the corner
Watching you as you watch her and take her up to the second floor
Everybody's dancing round me, I can only see your face
Somebody tell me who said it was better love
Time after time, I bullshit and lie
In cold blood, in cold blood
Time after time, I tell you that I'm ever cared once
Don't I know you wasted my energy and tore up the best of me
My thoughts are shaking, contracting a rizzle of my head that is spinning
From too much oxygen that I will blame
That's me there out by the door, standing alone
In cold blood, in cold blood

Watching you as you watch her and take her up to the second floor
Everybody's dancing round me, I can only see your face
Somebody tell me who said it was better to love and to lose
I wish that I never knew you so I told you I need space
But I wish that you were at my door
God, I'm just so tired of faking, crying on the bathroom floor
Somebody tell me who said it was better love
Somebody tell me who said it was better love
He's got a look in his eyes, hair slicked back and tied up
Looks real good, and he knows it
I wait for a sign, his gaze, it meets mine
But there I'm stood
All alone, you wasted my energy and tore up the best of me
My thoughts are shaking, contracting a rizzle of my head that is spinning
Don't I know you after a couple drinks
Your mouth, it starts spilling things
Your hands on her waist, and that's me there
Out by the door, standing alone in the corner
Watching you as you watch her and take her up to the second floor
Everybody's dancing round me, I can only see your face
Somebody tell me who said it was better to love and to lose
I wish that I never knew you so I told you I need space
But I wish that you were at my door
God, I'm just so tired of faking, crying on the bathroom floor
Somebody tell me who said it was better love
With your secret smiles and your bright blue eyes
You look like paradise
And I hope all night that you won't turn out like all the other boys
With your skin like gold on a sunset road
And I hope you know that God has something good for me


I've been hoping you'll stay a while
I'm standing right by the door
Dancing alone in the corner
Watching you as you watch her
And take her up to the second floor
Everybody's dancing round me
I can only see your face
Somebody tell me
Was that it was better to love than to lose?
I wish that I never knew you
So I told you I need space
But I wish that you were at my door
God, I'm just so tired of faking
Crying on the bathroom floor
Somebody tell me
Was that it was better to love?
