The Prize Fight - The Red Light District lyrics

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 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 with lies and deceit that I'm stuck debating to ask you "With all you've done, Do 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'm Living the politicians life Where it's more important to save my image than to 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 much 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 But you won't come close and I won't calm down Your track record has made this personal Still everything I said I loved You don't hear me though... 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 my best to get these words And feeling off my chest And still I'm saving the best for last We lied down to do what we do best And throw caution into the wind Cause what's done is done "Can you remember how it feels?" If one night can make me feel like this I swear I'd take it back if I could take it back There's so much that I wish I could have asked Before you let me down and before I let you... There's only one thing I know I have to ask you, and that's "do you go through what I am going through?"
