Acceptable Losses Lyrics by Lisa Miskovsky

Changes

2006

[Intro]
Ah-ah
Ah
Ah-ah, ah
[Verse 1]
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
Ah-ah
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
This place got dark in the years that passed
The storefronts 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
Ah-ah
[Chorus]
And I tear it apart and burn it all down 'cause I have to
Made a deal with a man at a 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
[Bridge]
They found your car down at 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
Ah-ah
[Chorus]
'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 (Ah-ah)
[Post-Chorus]
Acceptable losses (Ah-ah)
Acceptable losses (Ah-ah)
Acceptable losses (Ah-ah)
[Outro]
Ah
Ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah
