Vampire Weekend — This Life

[Verse 1] Baby, I know pain is as natural as the rain I just thought it didn't rain in California Baby, I know love isn't what I thought it was 'Cause I've never known a love like this before ya Baby, I know dreams tend to crumble at extremes I just thought our dream would last a little bit longer There's a time when every man draws a line down in the sand We're surviving, we're still living, are we stronger? [Chorus] You've been cheating on, cheating on me I've been cheating on, cheating on you You've been cheating on me But I've been cheating through this life And all its suffering Oh Christ Am I good for nothing? [Verse 2] Baby, I know hate is always waiting at the gate I just thought we locked the gate when we left in the morning And I was told that war is how we landed on these shores I just thought the drums of war beat louder warnings [Chorus] You've been cheating on, cheating on me I've been cheating on, cheating on you You've been cheating on me But I've been cheating through this life (You've been cheating on, cheating on me I've been cheating on, cheating on you) And all its suffering (You've been cheating on me I've been cheating through) Oh Christ (You've been cheating on, cheating on me I've been cheating on, cheating on you) Am I good for nothing? (You've been cheating on me I've been cheating through) [Verse 3] Baby, I know death probably hasn't happened yet 'Cause I don't remember living life before this And darling, our disease is the same one as the trees Unaware that they've been living in a forest [Chorus] You've been cheating on, cheating on me I've been cheating on, cheating on you You've been cheating on me But I've been cheating through this life (You've been cheating on, cheating on me I've been cheating on, cheating on you) And all its suffering (You've been cheating on me I've been cheating through) Oh Christ (You've been cheating on, cheating on me I've been cheating on, cheating on you) Am I good for nothing? (You've been cheating on me I've been cheating through) This life (You've been cheating on, cheating on me I've been cheating on, cheating on you) And all its suffering (You've been cheating on me I've been cheating through) Oh Christ (You've been cheating on, cheating on me I've been cheating on, cheating on you) Am I good for nothing?
