You're My Incentive

Your bearings are shot And your car'd only work like she used to Your friends don't call and they don't even bother With offering excuses The tv is on but its always on so its useless Its just the awful news and the sorry truth Tho we're definetely sinking So I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you You'll just hurt your chest and your face will turn bright blue This is how its gonna be This is how its gonna be This is how it will be and theres nothing that we can do And if you start believing then i'll stop holding my breath too You've been praying for change but you ain't been to church since the 10th grade And you cry at your job don't believe in your voting Never celebrate your birthday So you set up for dinner to make you feel less desperate and worthless But your dad gets drunk so your mom throws a fit While your man hits on the waitress So I wouldn't waste my time if I were you You'll just snap your spot and strip away your youth This is how its gonna be This is how its gonna be This is how this will be and theres nothing we can do If you start believing then i'll stop wasting my time too Cause you're my incentive and if you go i'll go too
