in the tradition lyrics

Here I am hearin' the same old good advice
Surrounded by fools who could swear each heart loves twice
I can't pretend everything's good
Believe me I wish that I could

I can't fake a smile through the evenin'
I'll probably crack if the pain's too strong
Play a song for me
But it has to be in the tradition of love gone wrong

I've noticed today I have one less friend to call
And no one to tell me it's all right as my world starts to fall
I'm doing the best that I can
And I've had all the help I can stand

I can't fake a smile through the evenin'
I'll probably crack if the pain's too strong
Play a song for me
But it has to be in the tradition of love gone wrong

I'm ready to crash, yes I am
But I'll hide it the best that I can

I can't fake a smile through the evenin'
I'll probably crack if the pain's too strong
Play a song for me
Make it last for me in the tradition of love gone wrong
In the tradition of love gone wrong
