[Verse 1]

I've been working it out

Writing down the only nouns I think I know how

About virginity, and plasticine, and crumpled scraps of prayer

The’re there, until I'm ready to throw them out

I've been wearing the clothes

To fit the scene, and stay pristine, and keep myself involved

But when I listen in, I sin again, I tend to blaspheme

I kissed you once and it was ugly, you don’t love me when I'm mean

[Verse 2]

Drink spiked tea like it's a pint of rum and orange juice

Think of me when you think you can start letting loose

I don't own you, I know you and you want me

Haunt thе faces of passers by like I'm a sorе bruise

When you think that I'm perfect, you'll deserve it, I'll give in

I’m a saint until I see your face when it’s prepared to sin

Buy me red lipstick, but don't kiss it, or you might make it smudge

Don’t budge until it's gone

I've gone to give it all up

[Chorus 1]

I

I wanna be the one to end ya

I

I can't stay Lucy Westenra

[Post-Chorus 1]

I see myself in you, the way you beg, the things you do

I laid in bed, I ruined you

Return the text to sender

[Verse 3]

I’ve been smoking some more

It's comforting, to do something and know that I'm the cause

When you smell nicotine you'll think of me, I think I've left my mark

So the scar is still new but it's yours

I've been looking a little bit worse

I've not been sleeping well, my head always hurts

But I can cope with it, I hold it in, swallow any grudge

And that's enough, I won't revert

To the drinking when I think that you still love her

Wait for autumn since I know that you hate summer

It's bittersweet to see you haven't blocked my number

An open seat for me to beg to let you suffer

[Chorus 2]

I

Want you to want me when you're sober

I

I hate to tell you that it's over

[Post-Chorus 2]

'Cause I know you know I've felt the hurt, I've settled down

And I cannot cry without your shoulder
