The Red Light District Lyrics - Singles - The Prize Fight

I saw you wave goodbye and play it off as so romantic 

I thought it cute, and couldn't help it as my 

Strength inside, failed to ward off your advances 

And now I'm, 

I'm caught up in politics and lies 

As entertainers we try and sing this same song every night 

I'm tired of trying to treat you like 

You ever mattered enough for me to put this kind of time 

Or any time at all, I swear 

Slow down... 

Just enough to 

Fake this... 

Cause there's way too much riding 

On an educated guess 

I couldn't live without 

Just calm down... 

Enough to get me through this 

And lay back... 

So I can really get a chance tonight 

To play out the process while lost in the moment 

Where I know this is right 

With my arms around you 

I'm trying to tune out everything that anyone has said 

But who can forget the past 

That's so ripe with lies and deceit that 

I'm stuck debating to ask you 

"With all you've done, 

Do you remember how it feels to be in love?" 

Even though the stakes were high 

The prize I won, well, just wasn't that fantastic 

It's left me bruised and wondering how and why I'm 

Living the politicians life 

Where it's more important to save my image than to save my soul 

I guess that's how I survived 

And oh, there's a certain part of me that knows they're right 

And I hope you know, that I know 

But until I care too much I'll just 

Slow down... 

Just enough to 

Fake this... 

Cause there's way too much riding 

On an educated guess 

I couldn't live without 

Just calm down... 

Enough to get me through this 

And lay back... 

So I can really get a chance tonight 

To play out the process while lost in the moment 

Where I know this is right 

I tried my best to make an offer 

You tried your best to meet my demands 

But you won't come close and I won't calm down 

Your track record has made this personal 

Still everything I said I loved 

You don't hear me though... 

Slow down... 

Just enough to 

Fake this... 

Cause there's way too much riding 

On an educated guess 

I couldn't live without 

Just calm down... 

Enough to get me through this 

And lay back... 

So I can really get a chance tonight 

To play out the process while lost in the moment 

Where I know this is right 

With my arms around you 

I'm trying my best to get these words 

And feeling off my chest 

And still I'm saving the best for last 

We lied down to do what we do best 

And throw caution into the wind 

Cause what's done is done 

"Can you remember how it feels?" 

If one night can make me feel like this 

I swear I'd take it back if I could take it back 

There's so much that I wish I could have asked 

Before you let me down and before I let you... 

There's only one thing I know I have to ask you, 

and that's "do you go through what I am going through?"
