Lucky One - Why We Love

Begging for forgiveness from someone you used to own

It’s funny how your darkest hour is the sweetest one you’ve known

My giving days are over, you’re on your own this time

But if you ever need a friend, then the privilege is mine

If you want a reason not to stay

Then I’ve got a thousand words to say

But you know they’re never going to leave my mouth

So you might as well just stick around

But maybe you were right all along

Maybe I am the lucky one

Everything you got when you gave it away

Just another reason not to stay

One more time for good luck I’ve been practicing for days

And re-working my sentences but they just get paraphrased

And if it wasn’t for all the overacting I think I might have believed it

But in honesty, your performance was something of an underachievement

If you want a reason not to stay

Then I’ve got a thousand words to say

But you know they’re never going to leave my mouth

So you might as well just stick around

But maybe you were right all along

Maybe I am the lucky one

Everything you got when you gave it away

Just another reason not to stay

You gave it away

Too willingly for it to be convincing

With the artificial sadness and the over-done wincing

And maybe I was fortunate to miss out on the drama

They called it «good luck» but I saw it as karma

If you want a reason not to stay

Then I’ve got a thousand words to say

But you know they’re never going to leave my mouth

So you might as well just stick around

But maybe you were right all along

Maybe I am the lucky one

Everything you got when you gave it away

Just another reason not to stay

I guess I just must have been feeling brutal

I guess you just must have been being a bore

But now in actuality I can finally see that I’m not the lucky one anymore
