My love, who’re you gonna blame now

Without me there to hold you down?

On the sideline still opining on how it ain’t fair

Must get lonely watching life go by from there

You lose your shot if you play it cool

Castles fall when no one rules

Flowers wilt if you let them dry

And if you won’t even fuckin’ try

Love dies

So you move back home

And wait for your life to start

You’ve got big dreams

But only in the dark

And your mother never liked me or never had time

Either way you never tried to change her mind

You lose your shot if you play it cool

Castles fall when no one rules

Flowers wilt if you let them dry

And if you won’t even fuckin’ try

Love dies

186 miles had nothing on the distance in your eyes

And I’ve never seen someone so talented and so dead inside

So you call from your parents’ place

To say it’s all too much and you need space

The only move you’d make

Is turn your back and walk away

You'd walk away

You lose your shot if you play it cool

Castles fall when no one rules

Flowers wilt if you let them dry

And if you won’t even fuckin’ try

Love dies
