[Chorus: Buffalo Madonna]

And on, on and on, and on we go

And on, on and on, and on we go

We love what we had, but now it's gone

Let's leave before we eat each other alive

Alive


[Verse 1: Macklemore]

Same city, yeah, we can't break up

Nice mask on, I wore the same one

The greatest trick that the devil ever pulled

Was convincing women that they looked better in their makeup

I wear war paint, fight to the casket

Too tired to apologize on this mattress

Emotional detachment, what's the matter?

She's learning that she never should have dated a rapper

I don't blame her, my mind is gone

I'm at dinner checking phone calls, texts and blogs

I don't hear a word, I know nothing at all

Just concerned about the world memorizing these songs

It goes on and on

Don't wanna break you, but I'm leading you on

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, on

And now it's gone


[Chorus: Buffalo Madonna]

And on, on and on, and on we go

And on, on and on, and on we go

We love what we had, but now it's gone

Let's leave before we eat each other alive

Alive


[Post-Chorus: Buffalo Madonna]

You are the love of my life

You are the love of my life

You were the love of my life

This time we know, we know

It's over

Over


[Verse 2: Buffalo Madonna]

Didn't believe in love until we fell out

Gave the keys back, now I'm on the homie's couch

Always going out, sleeping 'round with strangers

Danger, but you can't live without her

Now you're paranoid, checking on her cellphone

Making sure she ain't like you alone

Haven't made love with the lights still on

It's like you're hiding something from me


[Verse 3: Macklemore]

Let's fake another toast to the good life

Predict the future, clean slate, blue sky

Fantasy of me, husband and you, wife

Lyin', staring into those two eyes

And I can't take it back to where we came from

A pavement past emotional earthquake foundation

Yeah, let's keep swimming in the snake pit, get bit

Get out, then jump back into the suffocation

Make up and fuck to save us like we got this

Come on, this is just us, baby

And this is just a fight, this is just love, maybe

Is it just you or am I fucking crazy?

I swear to God, I wish that I could Photoshop the scars off

Cold world and gettin' my heart thawed

Then I said it all and never get lock jaw

Mouth is a sawed off shotgun at any second could pop off

How does the truth taste?

My job comes with a complimentary toothpaste

Lately, I've been living up out of my suitcase

Building trust in that I'm leaving on Tuesday

Bought a one night stand, just a bootleg

A duplication of something authentic

Heart augmented, and it's so hard to end it

I said peace before, but this time I meant it


[Bridge: Macklemore & Buffalo Madonna]

Can't get her out of my head

This place is a mess

Holding onto cobwebs

It has us both on the fence

She walks that thin line

In and out of my bed

Each time I love her less

Can't get her out of my head

This place is a mess

Holding onto cobwebs

It has us both on the fence

She walks that thin line

In and out of my bed

Each time I love her less


[Chorus: Buffalo Madonna]

And on on and on and on we go

And on on and on and on we go

Love what we had but now it's gone

Let's leave before we eat each other alive

Alive


[Post-Chorus: Buffalo Madonna]

You are the love of my life

You are the love of my life

You were the love of my life

This time we know, we know

It's over
