You claim, I'm making all the moves
Take a last chance, all the fantasies we had
Never came true
I'd do it all for you
It's been a lost cause thinking then come clean
'Cause you're so cool,
I'm infatuated by all the heights that I'll never reach
So why do I try,
I see it in your eyes:
Bad news - don't read the front page

Call it what you wanna call it,
You never called back,
Let's call it even
I'll have you know, I'll have you know that
My broken record never skips a beat
Save face another day
Save face another day
I won't try to fly so don't convince me

Sometimes the picture isn't clear
That photograph's a reminder on the wall
Of a good year
Gotta get your story straight
Last call for consequence
I'm saying you talk a good game
Laugh now, just wait to be the story of the week
And have everyone talking about you
Open wide, I got a spoon:
A little ounce of self respect comes easy

Call it what you wanna call it,
You never called back,
Let's call it even
I'll have you know, I'll have you know that
My broken record never skips a beat
Save face another day
Save face another day
I won't try to fly so don't convince me

Say goodbye to all the pins and needles
Recollect the rest of my scribbled little piece of paper
Never mind how hard we try
To cover up anxiety with tattoos
And it's so obvious
For sure, you better ante up
Or take your best shot

Call it what you wanna call it,
You never called back,
Let's call it even
I'll have you know, I'll have you know that
My broken record never skips a beat
Save face another day
Save face another day
I won't try to fly so don't convince me

Say goodbye to all the pins and needles
Recollect the rest of my scribbled little piece of paper
Never mind how hard we try
To cover up anxiety with tattoos
And it's so obvious
For sure, you better ante up
Or take your best shot
