"Lose Lose" lyrics

I don't like the way you sound
When you say that to me
You can't tell me what is and isn't allowed
When your tone's off key
'Cause boy, we've been here before
And I know where it leads
Leads to a place we outta tune with each other
The last thing that we wanna hear is one another's voices

And then it gets too late to apologize
You're too hard to recognize
And we're too far gone to minimise the damage
We've been 'round and 'round this a thousand times
We're like two ships passin' in the night
Oh it's getting more than we can manage

I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna have to choose me over you
'Cause baby, that's a lose lose
If you could just be open with me
Tell me what you hope this could be
Here's your opportunity

Five hundred sixty-five days together, but who's countin'?
And we've been fighting every other day together
You say, "Who's counting?" I am (Yeah)
I'm tryna find the blessings, yeah
Among the curses, baby I am
Asking how we find a way to make it work

When it's too late to apologize
You're too hard to recognize
And we're too far gone to minimise the damage, baby
We've been round and round this a thousand times
We're like two ships passin' in the night
Oh it's getting more than we can manage

I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna have to choose me over you
'Cause baby, that's a lose lose
If you could just be open with me
Tell me what you hope this could be
Here's your opportunity

In this phase, my heart is leadin'
And it rules my belief system
As I try to adjust to the idea of life without you in it
I don't know if that's winnin' or losin', nah
Right now, all I know is

I don't wanna lose you (Yeah, yeah)
I don't wanna have to choose me over you (No)
'Cause baby, that's a lose lose
(That's a lose lose, that's a lose lose)
If you could just be open with me
Tell me what you hope this could be
Here's your opportunity

Yeah, yeah
Well, here it is, baby (Yeah, yeah)
I put my cards on the table, baby (Ooh)
And now, the ball's in your court, baby
