old tricks Lyrics

I was taught how to share, I'm the oldest

But my feelings were never enough

Wasn't taught how to care, I'm the oldest

But was always expected love

Wasn't taught how to love

Barely showed it

And it's not in this bottle of rum

What I feel's in a blunt and I smoke it

Really helping with what I've become

When I feel like nobody, I'm numb

Never felt like nobody important

Told my heart it should watch how it thumps

Keep in mind that it's only an organ

Could I love on somebody enough

Will it make them believe that I'm flawless

If I never do scratch at an itch

Could it make me believe that I'm clawless

If I show them the hue that I hide

Will they say that they love me regardless

If I give them the love that I like

Will they think and believe that I'm polished

Could you love me for more than a night

With the sun, would I turn to a target

Cause I tried to love me once before

Got me feeling like loving me's hardest

Old dog

I was taught how to share, I'm the oldest

But my feelings were never enough

Wasn't taught how to care, I'm the oldest

But was always expected to love

Wasn't taught how to love

Barely showed it

And it's not in this bottle of rum

What I feel's in a blunt and I smoke it

Really helping with what I've become

If I finded somebody that needs me

Would I harden and push them away

If I find me somebody that sees me

Will I soften and beg 'em to stay

Will I lie if somebody believes me?

When I'm honest

Then how would you know

Would you give me my divvy of chances

If I gave you a reason to go

Old dog

I was taught how to share, I'm the oldest

But my feelings were never enough

Wasn't taught how to care, I'm the oldest

But was always expected to love

Wasn't taught how to love

Barely showed it

And it's not in this bottle of rum

What I feel's in a blunt and I smoke it

Really helping with what I've become

When I do find somebody, I'm dumb

But I'll say you're somebody important

Told my heart it should watch how it thumps

Keep in mind that it's only an organ

If I love on your body enough

Will it make you believe that you're flawless

And the way that you dig at my chest
