lyrics

There ain't no good that ever came of thinking
Thinking just makes murders from every footstep on the staircase
Today I thought about you constantly
Until I thought you were killing me
And when I finally saw you later on, I barely recognized your face

There ain't no good that ever came of trying
I am the man I am and that's about it
A man lives long and he changes some
But every man that he becomes
Is just another portrait from the paint he started with

So if you stick around, you stick around
And if you don't, you don't, and sure I'll cry
But there ain't no way that I can say
That it's right or wrong for you to stay
We only do the things we do and then attach the reasons why

There ain't no good that every came of pushing
You're the woman that you are and nothing more
I keep trying to pull you so close to me
Now I've failed enough that I can see
That a pull is still a push against a wall that's still a door

And there ain't no good that ever came of romance
But baby, I don't do it to be good
My kind of love likes to scream and curse
And baby, you bring out my worst
And it's fair enough to say I should do better
But it ain't fair to say I could

So if you stick around, you stick around
And if you don't, you don't, and I'll be sad as hell, as you well know
But a life don't make no promises
For dreams come true or happiness
We only do the things we do and it just goes the way it goes
