lungs Lyrics

Take off your shoes

It's getting late

And you're the reason I don't sleep

Willing to give more than I take

I'm just a secret that you keep

And getting weaker now

You've figured out

You've got a hold on me

I'd risk my life

Drive late at night

If it meant sleeping skin on skin

You'd turn away

Back to my face

But I'd be grateful that I'm in

The bed of somebody

Who tolerates my company

There must be something wrong with me

To settle so uncomfortably

Take my lungs

Tie them up

That still wouldn't hurt as much

As when he lies there

Hand in my hair

And says of course it isn't love

Laughs then goes

"I thought you'd know"

Well that's a pretty fucked up joke

Anyone would wander home

But that would mean being alone

I'd rather lie there

I'd rather lie there and

Laugh until I cry there

Video games I never play

But you've been practicing for years

Rewatch the films you know I hate

I'm certain I could disappear

You wouldn't feel a thing

It's strange to think

You asked me to be here

I'd rearrange entire days

Just on the off chance that you're free

To lead me on in other ways

I shouldn't make it so easy

We used to talk for weeks

But talking lost it's novelty

The devil lies on top of me

I'd rather that than nobody

Take my lungs

Tie them up

That still wouldn't hurt as much

As when he lies there

Hand in my hair

And says "don't go falling in love"

Force a smile

"Of course I won't"

But that's a pretty fucked up joke

Anyone would wander home

But that would mean being alone

I'd rather lie there

I'd rather lie there and

Laugh until I cry there

Tired eyes

I see where this is going

It's too late to drive

My weakness is showing

Don't act so surprised

Just one more night

Honestly

The hardest part of all of this

Is watching me

Becoming all the things I said I'd never be

Oh honestly
