Oh we've had some damn good times
Written some damn good rhymes
But I don't think I can keep up the fight
You told me every day: Johnny you're a rockstar
But don't lose sight of me in the blinding spotlight
Well I tried and I tried but I feel myself slipping
Mama, she told me
You gotta lose sometimes but I just wanna be a winner
Is it too much to ask for a sky of blue
Pride got a hold on me
Guess we all could be the quintessential sinner
I just can't keep on loving you
Promises I couldn't keep
Nights we cried ourselves to sleep
Wondering when things wouldn't be like hell
I broke your heart, I did you wrong
But I hope this little song
Finds you strong, wounds all mended and doing well
You know I tried to hold on but I felt myself slipping
Mama, she told me
You gotta lose sometimes but I just wanna be a winner
Is it too much to ask for a sky of blue
Fear got a hold on me
Guess we all could be the quintessential sinner
I just can't keep on loving you
No, can't keep on loving you loving you
I guess I just wasn't ready
For your love
For your love
Mama, she told me
You gotta lose sometimes but I just wanna be a winner
Is it too much to ask for a sky of blue
(Too much to ask for a sky of blue)
Love got a hold on me
Guess we all could be the quintessential sinner
I just can't keep on loving you
(I just can't keep on)
