LOST CAUSE

Your sorry eyes,
they cut through the bone
They make it hard
to leave you alone
Leave you here
wearing your wounds
Waving your guns
at somebody new

'Cause baby you're lost,
baby you're lost
Baby you're a lost cause

There's too many people
you used to know
They see you coming,
they see you go
They know your secrets
and you know theirs
This town is crazy,
nobody cares

'Cause baby you're lost
Baby you're lost
Baby you're a lost cause

There's a place where you are goin'
You ain't never been before
No one laughin' at your back now
No one standin' at your door
That's what you thought love was for

'Cause baby you're lost
Baby you're lost
Baby you're a lost cause

I'm tired of fighting,
tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause

LONESOME TEARS

Lonesome tears
I can't cry them anymore
I can't think of what they're for
They ruin me every time

But I'll try
And leave behind some days
These tears just can't erase
I don't use them anymore

How could this love, ever-turning,
never turn its eye on me?
How could this love, ever-changing,
never change the way I feel?

Lazy sun
Your eyes catch the light
With promises that might
Come true for awhile

Oh I'll ride
farther than I should,
harder than I could
Just to meet you there

How could this love, ever-turning,
never turn its eye on me?
How could this love, ever-changing,
never change the way I feel?
