It started all in early September When my god given little became a lot older Goodbyes seal my broken heart Hold on to your teardrops, You got a long way to go Did you get older doing nothing today? Don't you wanna stop complaining? If one is easy then hard is two No one knows where you're heading to Once my private collection, always betting on you No consolation prizes Spit out your lies & chewing gum Cut off your hair yeah that's it! If you look like that I swear I'm gonna love you more I thought about this for a long time Never had the chance to try and make it better My heart is waiting for a new you And there's no other option on the schedule Love like ours should never die with years Once you start you can't ever go backwards Cause if dark is one then bright is two No one knows where we're heading to No matter what it takes, never give up on you I want you to change it all I am gonna make it better No consolation prizes Spit out your lies & chewing gum Cut off your hair yeah that's it! If you look like that I swear I'm gonna love you more No consolation prizes Spit out your lies & chewing gum Cut off your hair yeah that's it! If you look like that I swear I'm gonna love you more More more more
