[Verse 1] Lipstick on a coffee cup Same red stain on my heart You said you’d be right back That was my favorite part Ashtray full of could’ve-beens Glowing like a warning sign I keep counting all your almosts While the clock keeps stealing time [Pre-Chorus] You come and go Like a late train Always late I pour and pour But you never hold your weight [Organ swells Soft answer lines] [Chorus] Jaded That’s the color of this love I painted All the shine we had has finally faded I don’t even miss the fire Just the heat we wasted I’m jaded Too tired to hate it [Verse 2] You talk in half-built alibis Smile crooked through your smoke Promise me a different life Wrapped up like a joke I dance around your silence In my thrift-store party dress You say I’m your only one While you’re leaving with your mess [Pre-Chorus] You come and go Like a bad bet Double down I bend and break Just to watch you walk around [Organ echoes short vocal phrases] [Chorus] Jaded That’s the color of this love I painted All the shine we had has finally faded I don’t even miss the fire Just the heat we wasted I’m jaded Too tired to hate it [Bridge] [Guitar break Twangy middle-eight lick] You call me up at closing time (mm-hm) Say my name like it’s a dare (oh yeah) But I’ve heard this holy story Too many nights to care [Chorus] Jaded That’s the color of this love I painted All the shine we had has finally faded I don’t even miss the fire Just the heat we wasted I’m jaded Too tired to hate it I’m jaded But I ain’t gonna chase it
