Say you're all heart but that’s not what I see
You’re getting stuck in my head
So clinical in your prose, why bother
You'll just end up in a strange bed
Diagnose me please, baby
You always know when something’s wrong
Everything will be so much clearer
When you send me your favorite song
Couldn’t wait to see you in the light of day
Away from all those drugs they warned us not to take
(But we did anyway)
Thought of clever words aimed to make you stay
But you just went your own way!
Misery loves flattery
I’ll burn out just to feed your shine
I’m tearing off half my clothes just to find out
where you drew the line
Hold on to what you have right
Don’t confuse it with what you left
The places you hope will make you whole
Are just the same ones that caused the wreck
Couldn’t wait to see you in the light of day
Away from the drugs and cheap wine and mixtapes
(It played and it played)
Thought of clever words aimed to make you stay
But you just found a new subway!
