After 3 AM

And I don’t want to fight

‘Cause no one’s gonna’ win

So let’s call it a night

We’ll both go on the lamb

‘Til the other admits

We’re right


It was after 4 AM

When you called on the phone

You just couldn’t let it end

You wouldn’t leave it alone

I decided there and then

It was time to show the other side


It’s gonna’ be the start of a long, cold winter

Watch me as I turn around and walk away

Knock you to the ground with the last thing I’m gonna’ say


All that you had planned

Never did make you famous

You hid behind the rules

Thinking you would be blameless

What’s to hide you now

That there isn’t a place to hide?


No longer in demand

No one left to adore you

The more I understand

It seems the more I abhor you

Used to mean the world

Now you don’t seem to be worth the time


It’s gonna’ be the start of a long, cold winter

Watch me as I turn around and walk away

Knock you to the ground with the last thing I’m gonna’ say


I’ll give you the punch line

Give it to you right on cue

Aim for your face this time

Just to see the damage I can do


And I’ll deliver the one line

That you never would expect

Never think I’d give to you

I’ll give you the punch line

To be kind you know you’ve gotta’ be cruel


It’s gonna’ be the start of a long, cold winter

Watch me as I turn around and walk away

Knock you to the ground with the last thing I’m gonna’ say


I’ll give you the punch line

Give it to you right on cue

Aim for your face this time

Just to see the damage I can do


And I’ll deliver the one line

That you never would expect

Never think I’d give to you

I’ll give you the punch line

To be kind you know you’ve gotta’ be cruel
