(Go back and tell it) Please could you be tender and I will sit close to you Let's give it a minute before we admit that we're through Guess this is the winter Our bodies are young and blue I'm at Jungle City, it's late and this song is for you 'Cause I remember the rush, when forever was us Before all of the winds of regret and mistrust Now we sit in your car and our love is a ghost Well, I guess I should go Yeah, I guess I should go Hard feelings These are what they call hard feelings of love When the sweet words and fevers all leave us right here in the cold, oh oh Alone with the hard feelings of love God, I wish I believed you when you told me this was my ho-o-ome I light all the candles Got flowers for all my rooms I care for myself the way I used to care about you These days, we kiss and we keep busy The waves come after midnight I call from underwater Why even try to get right? When you've outgrown a lover (oh-oh) The whole world knows but you (oh-oh) It's time to let go of this endless summer afternoon Hard feelings These are what they call hard feelings of love When the sweet words and fevers all leave us right here in the cold, oh oh Alone with the hard feelings of love God, I wish I believed you when you told me this was my ho-o-ome Three years, loved you every single day, made me weak It was real for me, yup, real for me Now I'll fake it every single day 'til I don't need fantasy, 'til I feel you leave But I still remember everything, how we'd drift buying groceries How you'd dance for me I'll start letting go of little things 'til I'm so far away from you, far away from you, yeah "What is this tape?" "This is my favorite tape" Bet you wanna rip my heart out Bet you wanna skip my calls now Well, guess what? I like that 'Cause I'm gonna mess your life up Gonna wanna tape my mouth shut Look out, lovers We're L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S Generation L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S Generation All fuckin' with our lover's heads Generation Bet you wanna rip my heart out Bet you wanna skip my calls now Well, guess what? I like that 'Cause I'm gonna mess your life up Gonna wanna tape my mouth shut Look out, Lovers We're L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S Generation L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S (look out, lovers) Generation All fuckin' with our lover's heads Generation (look out, lovers) L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S Generation L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S Generation L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S Generation L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S Generation L-O-V-E-L-E-S-S
