one big exhale never did me no good
and the bright light shines
still we ache n we break n we
try
the stage lights shine
and they blind our eyes
to it all
oh oh
still we ache n we break n we just can’t
get it right

she said watch your back
i’m nobody’s girlfriend
this modern love
is not enough
oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh

come on take the phone calls
n i’ll take the silence
this modern love
is not enough
oh oh oh oh oh yeah
one big exhale
never did me no good
one exhale
one big exhale yeah
one exhale
never did me no good
oh never did me no good
