"Lost Cause" lyrics

"Lost Cause"

Is it me?
'Cause I know that you noticed I hate kissing you with my eyes closed
Keep 'em open and stare at your face making sure that your eyes close
'Cause I was never taught to trust somebody, nobody

Is it you?
'Cause you pushed all my buttons and turned yourself into a trigger
And it feels like I'm stuck at a party without any liquor
And now the music stopped and we're not dancing, there's no dancing

Oh, oh, oh
Throw your sticks and stones at me

But don't tell me I'm a lost cause
Don't tell me I'm a lost cause
Say you're sick of my guts
But don't tell me I'm a lost cause
Tell me I'm a loser
Tell me I'm a stranger
You don't want to see again
But don't tell me I'm a lost cause

I'm a bitch
A possessive and jealous love addict but, boy, you're an asshole
And I'm tired of thinking that tragic's romantic, it's bad hope
If all that's left to do is leave
Don't twist your knife as you're walking away
You could end lives with the words that you say

Oh, oh, oh
Throw your sticks and stones at me

But don't tell me I'm a lost cause
Don't tell me I'm a lost cause
Say you're sick of my guts
But don't tell me I'm a lost cause
Tell me I'm a loser
Tell me I'm a stranger
You don't want to see again
But don't tell me I'm a lost cause
Don't tell me I'm lost cause

According to an interview with Variety, "Lost Cause" (written by Stephen Wrabel, Sam de Jong and Sam Romans) resonated with Pink because of a conversation she had had with her husband. She explained, "He came to me a long time ago — at a good moment, when we weren't arguing — and said, 'Hey, when we argue and you say really mean things, it hurts me and I really need you to stop.' I was blown away, like, 'Whoa, what a beautiful thing to do, Carey, to bring that up at a time where everything's going well.' And I'm like, 'You can call me a loser, but just don't tell me I'm unredeemable.' Everybody is redeemable. Unless they're gone, unless they're in the dirt. I don't believe old dogs can't learn new tricks."
