"Cliffhanger" lyrics

"Cliffhanger"

I have a story with you
Broken up in little parts
Pages are scattered, are somewhere
Drifting into the past

I loved you like I only know how
From the bottom of my heart
It's a mystery, I'll call it that now
After we fell apart

Oh, the whispers, I heard that you said
Walkin' round, talkin' 'bout me like I'm dead
Oh, I lie awake in my bed
Wonderin' whatever comes next
In this cliffhanger
You keep me hangin' on like a thread
Keepin' my head together
Don't understand it
How can a man be so bad at gambling
With love he don't have?

Oh, oh
(So bad at gambling, he keeps me hangin')
Oh, oh
(So bad at gambling, he keeps me hangin')

Tired of the wars I remember
As you held me in the park
We were both talkin' so tender
But then everything went dark

Did I love you like I only knew how?
Screamin' and shoutin' about it
Is that how you think of me now?
I think about you every time I get a little lonely

Oh, the whispers, I heard that you said
Walkin' round, talkin' 'bout me like I'm dead
Oh, I lie awake in my bed
Wonderin' whatever comes next
In this cliffhanger
You keep me hangin' on like a thread
Keepin' my head together
Don't understand it
How can a man be so bad at gambling
With love he don't have?

(Love I don't have)
Oh, ooh
(So bad at gambling, he keeps me hangin')
Oh, ooh
(So bad at gambling, he keeps me hangin')
Oh, ooh
(So bad at gambling, he keeps me hangin')
Oh, ooh
(So bad at gambling, he keeps me hangin')

So bad at gambling, he keeps me hangin'
So bad at gambling, he keeps me hangin'
