[Verse 1]
I’ve had enough of being honest
Swear every little truth I tell just trips me up
Some people hate to break a promise
And I was one of 'em, but isn’t enough enough?
Cold mugs are stacked on the sink
I wish I could find the words to say
That being honest cuts the cleanest
But I've got a feeling he won’t feel it that way

[Chorus]
And it's tough luck on me again
Wipe my tears, let's go
Pack my toothbrush in the boot of my car
And drive until I’m all out of road
Tough luck on him
It’s not his fault he’d never measure up to you
And I guess tough luck on us too

[Verse 2]
So many boys have tried, believe me
And every time my highest hopes try breakin' through
But it’s like your stupid shadow just won’t leave me
Oh, I see it everywhere, in every hand and heart
I knew...

[Chorus]
That it would be tough luck on me again
Wipe my tears, let's go
Pack my toothbrush in the boot of my car
And drive until I’m all out of road
Tough luck on him
It’s not his fault he’d never measure up to you
And I guess tough luck on us too

[Bridge]
They’ll bring me flowers
And I'll, I’ll count the hours
Till my dreaded words slip it out
"Don’t think we’re working"
And he says, "I've got one word"
And then spits out your name
And I just shrug
'Cause nothing’s changed

[Chorus]
And it's tough luck on me again
Wipe my tears, let's go
Pack my toothbrush in the boot of my car
And drive until I’m all out of road
Tough luck on him
It’s not his fault he’d never measure up to you
And I guess tough luck on us too
