Lyrics

[Intro]
Two forty in the morning, the pie turning slow.
Nobody in here but us.

[Verse 1]
You said yes and I dropped the menu twice.
Eggs, fries, the whole right side.
The waitress stopped asking, she just fills my cup.
I drink it so I don't have to talk.

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm laughing too loud for this hour.
Folding the receipt down to nothing.
Nine years, and I knew my part.

[Chorus]
I learned how to love you losing — teach me how to love you won.
I know the bad nights by heart.
I learned how to love you losing — teach me how to love you won.

[Verse 2]
You tell it again, the part with your name.
Your hands move like they set something down.
I packed the car after every no.
Now you're winning and I don't know my job.

[Pre-Chorus]
Smiling so hard my face has gone numb.
The cup's cold, I drink it anyway.
Being needed was the only job I had.

[Chorus]
I learned how to love you losing — teach me how to love you won.
I know the bad nights by heart.
I learned how to love you losing — teach me how to love you won.

[Bridge]
If you don't need me now, say it easy.
I'll be here when the neon goes down.
I'd rather lose the one thing I was good at
than keep you small enough to need me.

[Final Chorus]
I learned how to love you losing — teach me how to love you won.
Take the whole morning. Take the sun.
I'll be the loudest one.
I learned how to love you losing — teach me how to love you won.

[Outro]
Teach me how to love you won.
Two forty in the morning.
