Tough Luck

I've had enough of being honest
Swear every little truth I tell just trips me up
Some people hate to break a promise
I was one of 'em, but isn't enough, enough?
Cold mugs are stacked on the sink
I wish I could find the words to say
That being honest cuts the cleanest
But I got a feeling he won't feel it that way

And it's tough luck on me again
Wipe my tears let's go
Pack my toothbrush in the boot of my car
And drive until I'm all out of road
Tough luck on him
It's not his fault he'd never measure up to you
I guess tough luck on us too

So many boys have tried, believe me
And every time my highest hopes try breaking through
But it's like your stupid shadow just won't leave me
I see it everywhere in every hand and heart
I knew that it would be

Tough luck on me again
Wipe my tears lets go
Pack my toothbrush in the boot of my car
And drive until I'm all out of road
Tough luck on him
It's not his fault he'd never measure up to you
I guess tough luck on us too

They'll bring me flowers
And I'll count the hours
Til my dreaded words slip it out
"Don't think we're working"
He says "I've got one word"
And then spits out your name
And I just shrug
Coz nothing's changed

And it's tough luck on me again
Wipe my tears let's go
Pack my toothbrush in the boot of my car
And drive until I'm all out of road
Tough luck on him
It's not his fault he'd never measure up to you
I guess tough luck on us too
