Dinner Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Always on your own
Don't consider trying
Tried you on the phone
But you considered lying

[Hook]
Never had a doubt I'm losing

[Verse 2]
So I'm tidying my room
Trying to be careful
Drinking in the afternoon and lighting up whilst tearful

Hoping that you're still unhappy
I'll do everything I can
To make sure that you are never happy

[Verse 3]
Breaking out of this cocoon and clawing at the camera
Seeing you would be too soon
I'm stupid if I want more

Hoping that you die unhappy
I'll do anything I can
To make sure that you are never happy
[Hook]
Never had a doubt I'm losing

[Verse 4]
So unsure of every question in the dark
Trying hard not to go with anything you gave me
I'm so scared and down on friends
So please pretend there is no end
Trying not to be a victim in your game
I know your dirty ways
I know you feel the same
It kills me deep inside
I hope you cry when you see what you have inside

Never had a doubt I'm losing
I'll do anything I can
To make sure that you are never happy

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
