Cowards - Raleigh Ritchie

Hey

Hi

Okay

I guess you’re okay

You go through my head now and then (Hi, Hey, Hi, Okay)

We watch what we say

We play hard to get, we pretend (Hi, Hey, Hi, Okay)

I don’t know what’s happened to me

But it won’t disappear

I keep changing, saying things

I think you want to hear

I’m struggling to hold onto

Something close to you

And I’m coming up short

I choose to make the most of you

Never mind the power

Never mind the games

You and me, we’re cowards

Never mind the shame

Cause I’ll be waiting for you

At the pearly gates

Baby, I adore you

But I’m afraid to say

I bite and you scratch

We tense and relax, perfect match (Hi, Hey, Hi, Okay)

We both self destruct

We fight and we fu- (Hey) we make love (Hi, Okay)

I’m struggling to hold onto

Something close to you

And I’m coming up short

I choose to make the most of you

Never mind the power

Never mind the games

You and me, we’re cowards

Never mind the shame

Cause I’ll be waiting for you

At the pearly gates

Baby, I adore you

But I’m afraid to say

We don’t have to be the model couple

We could just be muddled up, I won’t give it up

White flag on the nightstand

Right girl for the wrong man

Maybe we were made to

Dance around each other, babe

I don’t know, I don’t care

I’m just scared

Never mind the power

Never mind the games

You and me, we’re cowards

Never mind the shame

Cause I’ll be waiting for you

At the pearly gates

Baby, I adore you

But I’m afraid to say
