Love letters on my fingertips
I wrote you a song but you didn’t even listen to it
We get old and used to this shit
Everyday I’m in awe of the beauty that lies within
Hold my hand as I lay on the track
The train is coming there’s no going back
You said “Come with me and we’ll get out of this town
I’ll buy you a house and this time I’ll stick around.”
But did you hear the sound?
Drowning me out...
But did you hear the sound?
The clock ticks
My heart hits
100% and I’m in love
Your warm lips
The motions
Lying in bed I can’t get enough
Your sweet talk
Your white lies
The wildflowers that grow inside
Your soft skin
Had my aching
For something I hoped I would find.
But it’s never the right time
I fall too deep
It’s never the right time
I’m used to suffering.
Lovely whispers that meant nothing at all
An empty dial tone whenever you call
Smell of whiskey, cigarettes and the bar
Crying myself to sleep cause you fell so far
Night sweats, bad omens all around
Hanging my crosses turning them upside down
Tell me sweet things when you’re sneaking in late
I’ll ignore the smeared lipstick, “oh ain’t life so great?”
I give and it takes
I give and it takes
I give and it takes
Ain’t life so great?
The clock ticks
My hearts hits
100% falling out of love
Your warm lips
Familiar motions
Apologies I’ve had enough
Your smooth talk
Your bold lies
The wildflowers that grow inside
Your thick skin
I’m crying
I just wanted to be alright.
But it’s never the right time
I fall too deep
It’s never the right time
I’m used to suffering.
