Shifty One
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Dear love, you're not the finest one
I guess love wasn't enough to push, pull, lock and load
How is everything that you unload?
But it's nice to see the lump stuck in the spoke of your throat
I know you're sorry...but this time, I need to believe
I didn't believe. I needed to believe, it wasn't me
Fuck the lies and your good intentions
If you prefer? I can fluctuate putting this in your face
How long will you be a shifty one? You, my love
(I know you're broken like me)
How long will you be a shifty one?
(I know you're broken like me)
How can I ever love? You?
You always seem to take too much out of me
Everytime that I tried to see
But it feels like no one is ever listening
You always said that you'd know me forever...forever
But I can't believe when you push, pull, lock and load your disease
I didn't believe. I needed to believe, it wasn't me
Fuck the lies and your good intentions
If you prefer? I can fluctuate putting this in your face
How long will you be a shifty one? You, my love
(I know you're broken like me)
How long will you be a shifty one?
(I know you're broken like me)
How can I ever love? You?
You're dead, you're dead
You're dead to me, you're dead
You're dead, you're dead
You're dead to me, you're dead
With a pretty face
You're dead to me, nothing you can ever say
Will ever bring this back the way
I've spent my time in the rotate
I'll never be the same since I kissed the ground
For the first time, with the trauma team
We're the comeback kings
Fuck the drama queens
(Fuck you drama queens)
When you come back to me, come back crawling!
How long will you be a shifty one? You, my love
(I know you're broken like me)
How long will you be a shifty one?
(I know you're broken like me)
How can I ever love? You?
You're dead
You're dead
