[Intro: Buffalo Madonna]
And on, on and on, and on we go,
And on, on and on, and on we go,
We love what we had, but now it's gone,
Let's leave before we eat each other alive,
Alive.
[Verse 1: Macklemore]
Same city, yeah, we can't break up,
Nice mask on, I wore the same one,
The greatest trick that the devil ever pulled
Was convincing women that they looked
Better in their makeup.
I wear war paint, fight to the casket,
Too tired to apologize on this mattress,
Emotional detachment – what's the matter?
She's learning that she never should have dated a rapper,
I don't blame her, my mind is gone,
I'm at dinner, checking phone calls, texts and blogs,
I don't hear a word, I know nothing at all,
Just concerned about the world
Memorizing these songs.
Goes on and on,
Don't wanna break you, but I'm leading you on,
On, on, on, on…
And now it's gone.
[Chorus: Buffalo Madonna]
And on, on and on, and on we go,
And on, on and on, and on we go,
We love what we had, but now it's gone,
Let's leave before we eat each other alive,
Alive.
You are the love of my life,
You are the love of my life,
You were the love of my life,
This time we know we know,
It's over, over.
[Bridge: Buffalo Madonna]
Didn't believe in love until we fell out,
Gave the keys back, now I'm on the homie's couch,
Always going out, sleeping ‘round with strangers.
Danger! But you can't live without her,
Now you're paranoid, checking on her cellphone,
Making sure she ain't like you alone,
Haven't made love with the lights still on,
It's like you're hiding something from me.
[Verse 2: Macklemore]
Let's fake another toast to the good life,
Predict the future, clean slate, blue sky,
Fantasy of me husband and you wife,
Lying, staring into those two eyes.
And I can't take it, back to where we came from,
My pavement past the emotional earthquake foundation,
Yeah, let's keep swimming in the snake pit,
Get bit, get out then jump back into the suffocation.
Make up and fuck to save us like we got this,
Come on, this is just us, baby,
And this is just a fight, this is just love, maybe…
Is it just you or am I fucking crazy?
I swear to god, I wish that I could Photoshop the scars off,
Cold world and getting my heart thawed,
And I said it all and never get lockjaw,
Mouth is a sawed off shotgun at any second could pop off.
How does the truth taste?
My job comes with a complimentary toothpaste,
Lately, I've been living up outta my suitcase,
Building trust in that I'm leaving on Tuesday.
Bought a one night stand, just a bootleg,
A duplication of something authentic,
Heart augmented, and it's so hard to end it,
I said peace before but this time I meant it.
[Bridge: Macklemore & Buffalo Madonna – ×2]
Can't get her out of my head,
This place is a mess,
Holding onto cobwebs
That has us both on the fence.
She walks that thin line
In and out of my bed,
Each time I love her less.
[Chorus: Buffalo Madonna]
And on, on and on, and on we go,
And on, on and on, and on we go,
We love what we had, but now it's gone,
Let's leave before we eat each other alive,
Alive.
You are the love of my life,
You are the love of my life,
You were the love of my life,
This time we know we know,
It's over, over.
