lyrics

I turned my back on you. Walked away straight down the hall,
where we first broke all the rules.
With that grin, you knew I'd be back.
You lit the fit, I ate the match.
Bouquets of empty promises were all you left
on my back step.

Who was there to say "I wasn't to blame?"
If that's what you call love, you put it to shame.
Tight within your grasp; your hooks in me so deep,
but they keep me afloat; they put me to sleep.

The truth can set you free,
but I've been on the run from mine
since 2013.
Patchouli scents and gray Civics remind me how
you seemed so slick.
Words with deeper meanings were all you ever whispered in the cold.

Who was there to say "I wasn't to blame?"
If that's what you call love, you put it to shame.
Tight within your grasp; your hooks in me so deep,
but they keep me afloat; they put me to sleep.

[ Never come around again, no more words to hold you in.
Fan the flames that burnt too bright. Wrong can seem so right. ]

I can't breathe in this room; your walls close on my home.
You like me at sixteen 'cause I don't know what that means.
I don't know what to say, I don't know what to do.
Smiles of lust mean nothing when I'm not the only one.

Who was there to say "I wasn't to blame?"
If that's what you call love, you put it to shame.
Tight within your grasp; your hooks in me so deep,
but they keep me afloat; they put me to sleep.
