Lucky One Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Begging for forgiveness from someone you used to own
It's funny how your darkest hour is the sweetest one you've known
My giving days are over, you're on your own this time
But if you ever need a friend, then the privilege is mine

[Chorus]
If you want a reason not to stay
Then I've got a thousand words to say
But you know they're never going to leave my mouth
So you might as well just stick around
But maybe you were right all along
Maybe I am the lucky one
Everything you got when you gave it away
Just another reason not to stay

[Verse 2]
One more time for good luck I've been practicing for days
And re-working my sentences but they just get paraphrased
And if it wasn't for all the overacting I think I might have believed it
But in honesty, your performance was something of an underachievement

[Chorus]
If you want a reason not to stay
Then I've got a thousand words to say
But you know they're never going to leave my mouth So you might as well just stick around
But maybe you were right all along
Maybe I am the lucky one
Everything you got when you gave it away
Just another reason not to stay
You gave it away

[Bridge]
Too willingly for it to be convincing
With the artificial sadness and the over-done wincing
And maybe I was fortunate to miss out on the drama
They called it "good luck" but I saw it as karma

[Chorus]
If you want a reason not to stay
Then I've got a thousand words to say
But you know they're never going to leave my mouth
So you might as well just stick around
But maybe you were right all along
Maybe I am the lucky one
Everything you got when you gave it away
Just another reason not to stay

[Outro]
I guess I just must have been feeling brutal
I guess you just must have been being a bore
But now in actuality I can finally see that I'm not the lucky one anymore
