Sinking Ship Lyrics

And I can't
sing these songs no more
can't look in your eyes
pretend you still love me
there's no hope in that
I gave up a long time ago
but i'm searching now
not finding
a better part of me
'cause i want it bad
I want it bad
Wasted the night away
on beers and poker games
told myself it's gonna make somethin' good of this day
you told me your lies with your hands
and the truth with your lips

you always smile at your good crew and their sinking ship
The purple faded smile from the red you drank last night
well come on in
I bet your hungry
and i'll get your T-shirts white
it never hurt so much to look a good friend in the eye
I never hoped so bad that what you told me was a lie
and I can't sing these songs no more
can't look at your eyes
pretend you still love me
there's no hope in that
I gave up a long time ago
but I'm searching
not finding
a better part of me
'cause i want it bad
I want it bad
