Make It Last

Sitting in the dark listening to the rain fall
Don't wanna read the headlines
That describe how you're in a new lover's arms
I was a fool to think we'd weather any storm
Seems like it was only yesterday
That I was kissing down your spine
So blind to too many signs
Too much in love to read between the lines

If I could take back all the heartbreak and
All the love we made and
I iced you out like I was crazy for you
Not 'cause you dropped it like its hot
But you were everything I'm not and I forgot myself

Chorus:
I can't see why we.. couldn't make it last, make it last
It can't be, can't we.. make it last, make it last
It's a shame, who's to blame.. we couldn't make it last
I can't see why we.. couldn't make it last, make it last

See I used to be the don't give a damn
Mr. One Night Stand, hit then scram,
Not your man was my program
Then along came you like kryptonite to Superman
I'm melting like a snowman, one touch from you
Was that your plan
Now the word is dropping, papparazzi's popping
"Mr. Heartbreak Just Got Played" all in the gossip column
Now word on the street is the player just got played like an arcade
Mr. Heartbreak's now been betrayed

Chorus:
I can't see why we.. couldn't make it last, make it last
It can't be, can't we.. make it last, make it last
It's a shame, who's to blame.. we couldn't make it last
I can't see why we.. couldn't make it last, make it last
