[Verse 1]
Your attention please
I wondered if an assailant passed this way
Was a friend that I once knew, flew in from L.A.​
Oh, a lesson that I learned a long, long time ago
Reminded me of my lonesome self
That old wrinkled shadow
And I’m, I count my blessings then
I know nobody understands
I waste my days away

[Chorus]
You don’t have love because you don’t want pain
Woah, no, no
You don’t want pain because you don’t have trust
Woah, no, no
You don’t have trust, so you don’t have love
Woah, no, no
You don’t have love because you just can’t take the pain

[Verse 2]
And there was a time, sat there like a dog
He was the one, now he’s away riding the radio waves
Get the fu*k out the way
We can have all the things you want, okay
Listen to the AI tell you what to do today, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
I waste my days away instead of giving it a voice
I want to play my game

[Chorus]
You don’t have love ’cause you don’t want pain
Woah, no, no
You don’t want pain ’cause you don’t want trust
Woah, no, no
You don’t have trust, so you don’t have love

Woah, no, no
You don’t got love, you just can’t stand the pain

[Chorus]
Don’t want love because you don’t want pain
Woah, no, no
You don’t want pain because you don’t have trust
Woah, no, no
You don’t want trust ’cause you don’t want love
Woah, no, no
You don’t want love, you just don’t want the pain

[Outro]
Taking too long, please send us a song
How can I do this all on my own?
Never a secret, all down the tubes
Putting your feet up, wrong attitude
Hiding a secret is nothing new
A reservation, dinner for two
Something inside is bubbling up
We gotta go somewhere to get drunk
A reservation, dinner for two
