Songtext zu 'Any Publicity Is Good Publicity' von Holding Out Hope

Is it so bad
That i want something exclusively
That i can't have?
But still i'll pursue til the
End. i'm just that
Desperate for good headlines
To the point that
I've thrown out bad habits and bedtimes

I know how you feel,
Cuz i feel it too
The sheer frustration
That he puts you through
Don't you know how much better you could do?

We're sidestepping issues to avoid needing tissues
Cuz we'd both break down if we stopped long enough
To think about what's happening, our hearts are unraveling
Because of unattainable love.
It's pointless, we know, and it's fruitless, so
What kind of game do we have going here?
It's funny to think, i've thrown the kitchen sink
And still you'll never be all ears.

Give me one shot,
And i swear i won't disappoint
How many has he got?
Oh, it's getting to the point
That i can't stop
Obsessing over how obsessed i am
And i can't stop
No matter how depressed i am

I'm always this way
Pretty much everyday
And i can't say i hate it but
It won't go away
Don't you know how much i want to say?

We're sidestepping issues to avoid needing tissues
Cuz we'd both break down if we stopped long enough
To think about what's happening, our hearts are unraveling
Because of unattainable love.
It's pointless, we know, and it's fruitless, so
What kind of game do we have going here?
It's funny to think, i've thrown the kitchen sink
And still you'll never be all ears.

You've got me back on the firewater
And you are my firestarter
What keeps me awake through the nights.
You're the worst of all my vices
And i'm paying all the prices
For my silence every one of those nights.

Don't you know how much better you could do?
Can't you see how awful he is to you?
