The Twilight Sad - DESIGNED TO LOSE Lyrics

The Twilight Sad Lyrics

"DESIGNED TO LOSE"

Are we designed to lose?
I can't believe you made me choose
I asked, "what am I to you?"
Tried to reason, but you refuse
My feelings just seem to abuse
I asked, "what am I to you?"

Are we playing dead in my head?
Are we playing dead in my head?
Are we playing dead in my head?

I can't teach you how to love
No, I won't teach you how to love
No, I can't teach you how to love me

Don't want it happening
I want you happy
Don't want it happening
I want you happy

This can't happen to you
I won't let this happen to you
No, this can't happen to you
I won't let this happen to you
This can't happen to you
I won't let this happen to you
No, this can't happen to you
I won't let this happen to you

I take the scissors back and call you up
Don't want to see you when your time arrive
I take the scissors back and call you up
I take the scissors back and call you up
You'll see me running from above, it hurts
I take the scissors back and call you up

Are we playing dead in my head?
Are we playing dead in my head?
Are we playing dead?
Are we playing dead?
Are we playing dead?
Are we playing dead?

Are we playing dead in my head?
Are we playing dead in my head?
Are we playing dead?
Are we playing dead?
Are we playing dead?
Are we playing dead?

I can't teach you how to love
No, I won't teach you how to love
No, I can't teach you how to love me
