[Verse 1]
I wish my heart would lie
My mind does all the time
I didn't know I was alive
Until you left and I died
With Xs on my eyes
With Xs on my eyes

[Verse 2]
My baby watches the stars
Like they are telling her jokes
I stand up waving my heart
Thinking that I might explode
And my head is in your hands again
But it feels like the center of the earth

[Chorus]
Then why don't I give up
If it just costs too much?
All I've got is an unbearable song
About the memory of what was once us

[Post-Chorus]
Winona

[Verse 3]
Is there a trade?
A bargain I can make
To keep you onе more day
We'll flee the borеdom and decay
And she said love can't just be an escape
'Cause then it's not the real thing
[Verse 4]
So, I sit back and watch
You go off down the road
But I've been sober lately
So, I don't get the joke
How does the ending go?
And when are you coming home?

[Chorus]
Then why don't I give up
If it just costs too much?
All I've got is an unbearable song
About the memory of what was once us

[Post-Chorus]
What was once us
Winona
Winona
