VERSE
Maybe you'd like me a little bit more,
With my hands around your throat.
But you know I'm not that kind of boy,
I know you'd love me a little more,
If I pinned you to the floor,
I think it's best if we take it slow.
CHORUS
Dip me in sugar and kerosene,
Set me on fire when you kiss me?
I'm not hurting as much as i thought I'd be,
VERSE
Maybe I'd hate myself a little bit less,
If I could promise I won't get.
Into anymore trouble But you don't mind it.
I think you'd love me a little more,
If you found out what's in store.
For me when I get older.

I won't kid myself anymore,
I miss you more than I could tell you.
Its been two years since we last spoke,
Could I please ask for a redo?
A lot has changed since you left,
My legs stopped working for a while.
I started taking painkillers,
And taking refuge in the bible.
But maybe I could fix you up,
Like I've done with everyone else.
Or you could just be my friend,
And I could focus on myself.
I won't lie to you anymore,
I miss you more than you'd like to hear.
But maybe some day we could talk,
Even if it takes a few more years.
I won't kid myself anymore,
I miss you more than I could tell you.
Its been a while since we last spoke,
Could I please ask for a redo?
A lot has changed since you left,
I could barely put on my socks and shoes.
My arms were covered in tape and bruises,
You have a call from someone who misses you.

Would you believe me if I said I was okay?
Then maybe the blood rush would go away.
You can just forget every word I said,
Its not like I'm asking you to stay.
But please don't lie to me about how you feel,
Cause I'm still trying to figure out if this is real.
I'm still second guessing all the actions I take,
Cause I just feel like I'm not awake.
Would you hate me if I said I need a few days,
To figure out why I'm staying up so late?
Cause I feel like I'm losing control,
I don't have the strength to get up off the floor.
You can always lie to me about how you feel,
Cause at this point I knew it was never real.
You keep second guessing every word you say,
But I won't keep you here another day.

VERSE
I'll let you know when the ink runs out,
And we forget what we were talking about.
Cause we drank just a little too much,
I promise I'm not using this as a crutch.
When we get older and our bodies ache,
We'll look back on the hundreds of days.
That you spent saving lives overseas,
And I was saving lives with guitar strings.
CHORUS
Cause nothing can replace what we got,
Even when everything hurts a whole lot.
And when we smoke too much pot,
At least we won't have to stop.
VERSE
I promise I won't let this go,
Cause in my heart this will always be home.
Staying at a lake house with our friends,
Taking shots and watching movies on vhs.
And if we end up drinking too much,
We can always pass out after curling up.
On the floor with our blankets and pillows,
And we can do the same thing tomorrow.

From now on I'll cry every single night,
Until my eyes start to bleed or I grow numb.
I can grow tumours or get weak for the cancer,
But how could I when you're still in my lungs.
Lost choruses won't be sung when I'm gone,
My mind is somewhere else I apologize.
Words can't describe feelings that you don't have,
If I can't breathe there's your reason why.
Its gonna take a while before,
I think I'm worth something again.
From now on I'll cry every single night,
Until I go blind or my mind goes numb.
Hopefully my body will finally shut down,
So you can stay here inside my lungs.
I'm feeling so tired the longer I'm awake,
Words keep sticking to the inside of my mouth.
The bruises keep showing up on my arms,
Maybe this is what they were talking about.
Its gonna take a while before,
I think I'm worth something again.

I'm taking road trips inside my head,
Snowy ridges on the side of my bed.
The stars shine brighter than they have before.
Sleeping every chance I get.
Cinema scenes play out in my mind,
I swear I've seen this a million times.
The one where I feel okay,
And my body isn't always out of line.
Where will I go this time?
I feel like I'm losing my mind,
But I'm just fine I'm always fine.
The road trip never seems to end,
I'm terrified of leaving my bed.
There's no sign of life anywhere I look,
This has to be all in my head
I think I'm stuck from the inside out,
Though it feels like I'm on the same route.
That I've been on for years and years,
What the fuck am I scared about?
Where will I go this time?
I feel like I'm losing my mind,
But I'm just fine I'm always fine.

Kiss me like you do your bathroom mirror,
When you stumble on half asleep.
Breath stained with alcohol,
Afraid that everyone will leave.
Touch me like you do your bedroom walls,
When you can't hold yourself up.
Lungs burn with smoke,
And your shirt is stained with blood.
There goes another one.
Hold me like you do your body pillow,
When you can't stop yourself from crying.
Head pounding like a drum,
And you think everyone is lying.
Fuck me like you do yourself,
When no one's around.
Fingers grasping at the sheets,
Do you feel better now?
There goes another one.
Kiss me like you do your friends,
When you're feeling alright.
Sharing a few drinks,
I promise that you're okay tonight.

A sharp flick of the wrist,
And everything goes dark.
A quick jerk of the tongue,
And I can make you feel warm.
Shell-shocked with locked knees,
We can feel it underneath.
Layers of worn out muscles,
And skin under our sleeves.
You're such a doll,
You're all I want.
You're such a doll,
For you I'd fall. (Over and over)
A crown made of razorwire,
And a white tee for our troubles.
A bracelet made of angel wings,
I've made for you from the rubble.
A porcelain heart,
Constructed from pieces of mine.
An hour glass made from my bones,
Just so you can keep my time.
You're such a doll,
You're all I want.
You're such a doll,
For you I'd fall. (Over and over)

Crack a joke that I might not get,
Until I get home and feel so upset.
It's not you at all I promise that,
It's just the pain I get in my neck in my back.
Looking for love without the love.
Draw my face on a piece of paper,
Hang it up on your wall when I can't be here.
Leave me voicemails when I'm fast asleep.
I have a sweater that you can keep.
Looking for love without the love.
Call me a loser when I say,
That I love you every single day.
But you're my sweetheart tho I'll admit,
That you burned me just a teeny bit
Looking for love without the love.
