Acceptable Losses Songtext
von Lisa Miskovsky

Main street′s empty in the evening chill
From courthouse tower to griffin mill
Small signs of winter comes creeping down the hills

I saw your shadow on Jackson Street
Where the zombie-eyed kids and the speed-queens meet
It's been a long time running through my veins this long-lost dream

And I tear it apart, and I burn it all down ′cause I have to
God gave me permission to do what it takes to find you

All the friends I betrayed, all the enemies made in the process
We've all done the same, we're just carrying different crosses
I′m feeling no pain, baby, it′s acceptable losses

This place got dark in the year's that passed
The store-front′s blown, I guess nothing lasts
The fighting at the bars still draw wired vengeful crowds

I followed your trail down to Rosewood Park
As the shadows grow tall and the stars come out
Where the backseat lovers used to park their daddy's cars


And I tear it apart, and I burn it all down ′cause I have to
Made a deal with a man at the crossroads who knew where to find you

All the friends I betrayed, all the enemies made in the process
Our pain feels the same, we're just carrying different crosses
It′s all in the game baby, it's acceptable losses

They found your car down the Suicide Bridge
Where the Johnson twins became newsflash kids
But I know you so much better, don't believe you′d call it quits
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Now I got an old address, and I′m waiting there
In the first light of morning at the fire stairs
I can hear someone's coming, and suddenly I′m scared

'Cause you ripped me apart, and I ran for my life ′cause I had to
My heart won't stop bleeding, and I′m no longer sure if I want it to

All the friends I betrayed, all the enemies made in the process
They're all going down in accounts of acceptable losses
It's all in the game baby, acceptable losses

Acceptable losses
Acceptable losses
Acceptable losses
