Teeth you never quite sank into me
You never quite held me too close for another weekend
We’d pretend that you were still mine
Begging for a moment of time
Wishing I could hear you explain every little reason and feeling behind your goodbye

I was amazed at my skilful hand
While I held you up so you looked like a man
And I would’ve stayed but I couldn’t fake it for you

Fear paralysing me to stay here
Turning all my love into angеr you never needed and I feed it ’til you walk away
And oncе again I beg you to stay
And once again we embrace this poisonous lie of a future we know won’t survive

You were afraid of my wicked mind
But it wasn’t my choice to cast you aside
And I would’ve stayed but I couldn’t fake it for you

But despite your smile you got nothing I want
I return what you told me was your heart

Now I could never ask you how
I would never have the confidence to recommence the final dialogue of our past
Underneath the mess that we made
Underneath the bristles of time we have nothing but the judgments that plague our minds
And you’re still afraid of my skilful hands
But I won’t hold you up so you look like a man
And I would’ve stayed but I couldn’t fake it for you

But despite your smile you got nothing I want
I return what you told me was your heart
