lyrics

would it mean something
if i leaned in closer?
too late to think
too slow to keep track
of what we’ve said

oh we shouldn’t be here
oh we shouldn’t

heavy knocking on the door
we cling for our breath
we’re safe but it’s a fallacy
i need someone
to hold on to

and tell me what i don’t wanna know
i can take it if it hits me in a breath of smoke
tell me what i shouldn’t ask
it isn’t like me to let go of a grudge so fast
go on, tell me what i don’t wanna know
i can take it if it hits me in a breath of smoke
tell me what i shouldn’t ask
it isn’t like me to let go of a grudge so fast

you’ve cast a spell on me
history means nothing
he’s a pretender
we’re all pretenders
it’s a mode of survival

oh we shouldn’t be here
oh we shouldn’t

heavy knocking on the door
i need you to promise me
i won’t be left alone
heavy breathing, we’re too close
exactly what i need

so tell me what i don’t wanna know
i can take it if it hits me in a breath of smoke
tell me what i shouldn’t ask
it isn’t like me to let go of a grudge so fast
go on, tell me what i don’t wanna know
i can take it if it hits me in a breath of smoke
tell me what i shouldn’t ask
it isn’t like me to let go of a grudge so fast

tell me, tell me he’s a pretender
tell me, tell me i’m beautiful
tell me, tell me we’re cool for tonight
tell me, tell me it’s going to be all

tell me what i don’t wanna know
i can take it if it hits me in a breath of smoke
tell me what i shouldn’t ask
it isn’t like me to let go of a grudge so fast
go on, tell me what i don’t wanna know
i can take it if it hits me in a breath of smoke
tell me what i shouldn’t ask
it isn’t like me to let go of a grudge so fast
