She said addictions aren't attractive as she lit up her cigarette
I don't think she meant to be facetious
It's just one of those ironic accidents

Then she comments on my shoes and how much
She liked my hair when I'm on stage
You know it's like flirting 101 except you never make it to the last page

So is this the truth? Who wants the truth?
You & I have got so much to prove
You & I have got so, so much to lose

It's so cruel the joke's we use
Cause someone here is going home alone (When someone here is going, going, gone)
And your advice it was half true
But I don't remember asking for it at all

I said attractions are destructive but I haven't found a healthy substitute
Why do they always misread what I'm saying?
It's like tripping an involuntary noose

Then I tell 'em what that means and who that's about
And how I wrote that way back when
Just because I'm singing it now & it's still around
It's not how it's always been
Just because I still sing it & it's still around
It's not how it's always been (doesn't mean that's how it is)

So is this the truth? Who wants the truth?
You & I have got so much to prove
You & I have got so, so much to lose

It's so cruel the joke's we use
When someone here is going, going, gone
And my advice it was half true
But you can't remember asking for it at all
