Numbers Game - Salem Ilese

I can count the hours I've been asleep
On your parents couch, the taste of you on my mouth
I can count the times I've thought, "I'm in deep"
But kept on going down, It's far too easy to drown

There's a tally mark war on the
Back of my door, one for
Every time you'd misbehave, then
Every time that I forgave

Oh it's a numbers game, time to
Score the blame, yours put
Mine to shame
Add em up now, add em up, winner of the
Numbers game, honey if it's
All the same
To you I'm glad to lose cause all these
Numbers make me wanna curse your name

I can count the tears I've left on your shirt
Oh it would take a while a river, I could compile
I can count the memories that ended up in hurt
But the ones I keep around make us out to be profound

There's a tally mark war on the
Back of my door, one for
Every time you'd misbehave, then
Every time that I forgave

Oh it's a numbers game, time to
Score the blame, yours put
Mine to shame
Add em up now, add em up, winner of the
Numbers game, honey if it's
All the same
To you I'm glad to lose cause all these
Numbers make me wanna curse your
Name, winner of the
Numbers game
Oh, oh
Add em up now, add em up

Bridge
All of the rest aside
I could never count you out
All of the pain and pride
I could never live without it

There's a tally mark war on the
Back of my door
But would you ever count me out
Add em up now, add em up

Oh it's a numbers game, time to
Score the blame, yours put
Mine to shame
Add em up now, add em up, winner of the
Numbers game, honey if it's
All the same
To you I'm glad to lose cause all these
Numbers make me wanna curse your name
