Same Dumb Excuse

I should be brave with nothing to lose
That's how I was until the day I met you
Now I'm afraid that I don't know what to do
A couple of things I've really gotta tell you

Dive off a cliff, jump from a plane
Oh, it's not easy other than what I've gotta say
Go for a swim, with sharks in the sea
Oh, it's not easy other than me telling it to you straight

I've got nothing to lose
I've got nothing to lose but you
If I just say nothing, you'll never hear the truth
I can't keep using the same dumb excuse
'Cause I've got nothing to lose
I've got nothing to lose but you

To get you to laugh, to get you to smile
To get you to tell the world that you're on my side
Make me a star at least in your eyes
Let's take on the world but first I got to make you mine

Dive off a cliff, jump from a plane
Oh, it's not easy other than what I've gotta say
Go for a swim, with sharks in the sea
Oh, it's not easy other than me telling it to your face

I've got nothing to lose
I've got nothing to lose but you
If I just say nothing, you'll never hear the truth
I can't keep using the same dumb excuse
'Cause I've got nothing to lose
I've got nothing to lose but you

Though the words ain't coming out
But tonight, it's going down
I should be brave, with nothing to lose
That's how I was until the day I met you

I've got nothing to lose
I've got nothing to lose but you
If I just say nothing, you'll never hear the truth
I can't keep using the same dumb excuse
'Cause I've got nothing to lose
I've got nothing to lose but you

I've got nothing to lose
I've got nothing to lose but you

Though the words ain't coming out
But tonight, it's going down
I've got nothing to lose
I've got nothing to lose but you
