Consolation Prizes Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It started all in early September
When my God-given little became a lot older
Oh, goodbyes seal my broken heart
Hold on to your teardrops, you got a long way to go
Did you get older doing nothing today?
Don't you want to stop complaining?
If one is easy, then hard is two
No one knows where you're heading to
Once my private collection, always betting on you

[Chorus]
No consolation prizes
Spit out your lies and chewing gum
Cut off your hair, yeah, that's it
If you look like that, I swear I'm going to love you more

[Verse 2]
I thought about this for a long time
I never had the chance to try and make it better

My heart is waiting for a new you
And there is no other option on the schedule
Love like ours should never die with years
Once you start, you can't ever go backwards
'Cause if dark is one, then bright is two
No one knows where we're heading to
No matter what it takes, never give up on you, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
I want you to change it all
I'm going to make it better


[Chorus]
No consolation prizes
Spit out your lies and chewing gum
Cut off your hair, yeah, that's it
If you look like that, I swear I'm going to love you more
No consolation prizes
Spit out your lies and chewing gum
Cut off your hair, yeah, that's it
If you look like that, I swear I'm going to love you more

[Outro]
And more, and more, and more, and more, and more
And more, and more, and more, and more, more
