Face On - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Baby moved to my town just to watch me let him go

I'd rather I didn't know

Turned up to my work to tell me "what a small world

I'm just around the corner or so"

Sucking on a cigarette like he think I want to smoke it

Must be joking

Tugging at my sleeve like his heart is hardly coping

I get roped in

No I can't, no I cannot live it over again

Pull my hair out, I'm so tied up in the shit we pretend

I'll put my face on, you'll be the wasteman that I know I'll defend

And you know I cannot believe you but I think i need you

Wish I could be the end

You're so sentimental, trying to keep it so real

You don't know how I really feel

Telling me I'm mental like it's not a big deal

But I'm the one who gave you the wheel

Flicking through my memories in case I might be wasting

I go crazy

I don't recognize me, I look jaded

My identity is hazy

No I can't, no I cannot live it over again

Pull my hair out, I'm so tied up in the shit we pretend

I'll put my face on, you'll be the wasteman that I know I'll defend

And you know I cannot believe you but I think i need you

Wish I could be the end

Look at the people we played, it's all make believe

I wish the best for you but not better than me

Look at the damage we did but you won't go down

You put the bullet in my pocket and walked yourself out

No I can't, no I cannot live it over again

Pull my hair out, I'm so tied up in the shit we pretend

No I can't, no I cannot live it over again

Pull my hair out, I'm so tied up in the shit we pretend

I'll put my face on, you'll be the wasteman that I know I'll defend

And you know I cannot believe you but I think i need you

Wish I could be the end
