You ask me my opinion, you come for some advice
You come to me for solace, to wipe your crying eyes
You say he's slipping under, and it's just as you feared
But I can't help but wonder what the hell you're doing here
So maybe could I stay the night
In the morning it'll be all right
He doesn't even have to know
Sucker, paybacks, way to go
A cold and lonely winter and you've been blowin' up
Faithful saints and sinners bleed into your cup
You'll hold your heart for no one, but no one's showing up
To keep your pain from growing, it takes me to cheer you up
I'm keeping my distance but you keep pushing near
But there's something missing, guess I'll take my place here
In the middle, middle of it all
And I swore that I'd never get stuck in this place
But it's so hard to weather your falling tears and lace
In the middle, middle, middle
So maybe could I stay the night
In the morning it'll be all right
He doesn't even have to know
Sucker, paybacks, way to go
I'm keeping my distance but you keep pushing near
But there's something missing, guess I'll take my place here
In the middle, middle of it all
And I swore that I'd never get stuck in this place
But it's so hard to weather your falling tears and lace
