The Loved Ones - Sarah's Game lyrics

All the working boys are craning their necks She knows they love it when she's wearing a dress She works hard to erase the lines on her face And the pills to help her cope with the stress All the office guys are scratching their heads She won't take any of them home to bed After she's had her fill she hands them the bill And laughs on the phone with her friends But she gets tired All the games she likes to play wear her down He got fed up with all the cards up her sleeve All the half truths he tried to believe And that night at The Top when she kissed the cop It just seemed like it was time to leave She thought it may have been time for a break But lately feeling like it was a mistake She got the note that he wrote and started to gloat Was left with a dull stinging ache She gets tired All the games she likes to play wear her down She can't forget and regrets the one she lives without On the edge of town But if she let go, let go, would it all come crashing down? If she let go, let go and it all came crashing down He'd stick around All the working boys are craning their necks She knows they love it when she's wearing a dress She works hard to erase the lines on her face And the pills to help her cope with the stress She thought it may have been time for a break But lately feeling like it was a mistake She got the note that he wrote and started to gloat And was left with a dull stinging ache She gets tired All the games she likes to play wear her down She can't forget and regrets the one she lives without On the edge of town But if she let go, let go, would it all come crashing down? Let go, let go, would it all come crashing down? Let go, let go, would it all come crashing down? Let go, let go, and it all came crashing down He'd stick around
