You tell yourself it's better
Keeping it on lock and key
Minimize the potential for permanent damage by
Bloodletting what you think is poison
But it's time to put away the toys, boy
Don't you try and play coy
If you want them
Tell them
You need them
Tell them
You love them
Tell them you do
Oh the good Lord is on your side
Don't be subdued
You got your armor hung up
Keeping your foot by the door
Let's raise a cup to the misfits and bad luck
This ain't a game no more
What you got now left to lose
There ain't no excuse
If you want them
Tell them
You need them
Tell them
You love them
Tell them you do
Oh you're a force to be reckoned with
Even broken and bruised
Oooh, ooh
Oooh, ooh
Treat her like an angel
Kiss him like the devil
Do you believe
This ain't no time to settle
Treat her like an angel
Kiss him like the devil
Do you believe
This ain't no time to settle
Treat her like an angel
Kiss him like the devil
Breathe in, breathe twice
Cuz fate don't play nice
If you want them
Tell them
You need them
Tell them
You love them
Tell them you do
Don't let your demons keep you down
Shout what you never let yourself say aloud
If you miss them
Tell them
You need them
Tell him
Can't live without them
Tell them you do
Go on and keep your head held high
This ain't the last goodbye
Oooh, ooh
Oooh, ooh
