Synthetic Romance

Left for dead and I'm two steps from gone
Sometimes you can't be new but it's worth a try
Hurts like a bitch theft of my life, said I changed my name
But the words just got stuck in my mouth

Oh, my girl, she loves me sober
Well hey, hey, hey
You know, love like a sinking stone
Oh, my girl, she loves me so
Well hey, hey, hey
You know, love like a sinking stone
For all my life, I'm just trying to make it turn out right

Kept me warm sidelined over there
Be a man is what they say, when they don't care
Chicago is home but I'm lonely here
Said I rigged the game yet it all still seems so unfair

Oh, my girl, she loves me sober
Well hey, hey hey
You know, love like a sinking stone
Oh, my girl, she loves me so
Well hey, hey, hey
You know, love like a sinking stone
For all my life, I'm just trying to make it turn out right
