Cheap Alternative Lyrics

She was only a gateway drug

A cheap alternative to love

We knew what it was and that was all

Till she made me beg for more

She was always a prom night mess

The seams tore when i pulled at her dress

And it creased in the back when it hit the floor

And then she showed me out the door

We had a love you couldn't fake

Oh what a tragic mistake

We both made

How could we have known

And I'm still inside your home

But I've got nowhere else to go

And so it goes

How could we have known

Every date is a one night stand

I pull away when you hold my hand

And to me you're nothing but a chore

And I'm your someone to ignore

You've gotta know why I've stuck around

We caused a scene but we made no sound

When all i wanted was a guaranteed way to score

And a fantasy to explore

We had a love you couldn't fake

Oh what a tragic mistake

We both made

How could we have known

And I'm still inside your home

And I've got nowhere else to go

And so it goes

How could we have

She was only a gateway drug

A cheap alternative to love

We knew what it was and that was all

And how long did that last for

Till she made me beg for more

We had a love you couldn't fake

Oh what a tragic mistake

We both made

How could we have known

And I'm still inside your home

And I've got nowhere else to go

And so it goes
