[Verse 1]
There's a lit cigarette
In the hand of my new angel
She's blowing smoke like halos
And now everybody wants her
But I shouldn't even bother
Because you made me so complete dear
But you left me so alone here
Hang a noose for my new sinner
Somewhere everyone can see it

[Chorus]
Won't you
Beg me
And then tell me how to love you
Like anybody else would
I know you're risking failure (risking failure)
Go run for cover (for how long)
You better start to love her (for how long)
So much you're movin' on (for how long)
And on (for how long)

[Verse 2]
Now there's a whole wide world
That wants to know
Have cheap hotels lost their turn-on?
She's bathing in the neon
And she's polluting all the airways
While I'm passed out in the hallway
And you left me so in love here
And you left with so much hate dear
Was I creating only chaos?
This world lives just fine without us
[Chorus]
Won't you
Beg me
And then tell me how to love you
Like anybody else would
I know you're risking failure (risking failure)
Go run for cover (for how long)
You better start to love her (for how long)
So much you're movin' on (for how long)
And on (for how long)

[Verse 3]
Will it change your life, if I change my mind?
When she's lit the whole wide world
I want to know
If you will

[Chorus]
Beg me
And then tell me how to love you
Like anybody else would
I know you're risking failure (risking failure)
But I hope you set your levels (for how long)
So you can run for cover (for how long)
You better start to love her (for how long)
Now are we this pathetic? (for how long)
You made me finally see it
(Will it change your life when I change my mind?)
Go run for cover
(Will it change your mind when I change my life?)
You better fucking love her
So much you're moving on
(Will it change your mind when I change my life?)
I'm so pathetic
You made me finally see it
Got what you want? I'm gone
[Outro]
For how long?
For how long?
(For how long?)
For how long?
(For how long now?)
Will it change your life?
