True love lasts long
Longer than summer
'Cause my heart beats black
'Cause I know it's over

My own mother, she tells me:
"Good things come to those who will wait for them"
My friends, they tell me
Not to walk away when I do

So back down love
This is downtown now
This is the way I roll
And my hands are out in front of yours
My heart's exposed

True love lasts long
Longer than I do
'Cause your hands are tied
'Cause I'm never sober

My own father, he tells me
Not to trust people like I do
My friends, they tell me
Not to walk away like I do

So back down love
This is downtown now
This is the way I roll
And my hands are out in front of yours
My heart's exposed
And my pulse is racing faster
Than you could ever know
With my heart exposed
I am on my way down

I've lost all my faith
And all of my deepest beliefs
And it's so hard to find
Any truth in any of your lies

And I lost all that
I once ever had
But I found something
Oh, I found something
And I lost all that
I once ever had
But I found something
That I never did

So back down love
This is downtown now
This is the way I roll
And my hands are out in front of yours
My heart's exposed
And my pulse is racing faster
Than you could ever know
With my heart exposed
I am on my way down

True love lasts long
Longer than summer
