Lyrics
Bastard John
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.
come here in silence and kiss me quiet lying on the floor
i'm acting dumb like you wanted
but i'm not your kid anymore
i'm not your bastard john
just because i played along
i'm not your bastard john
just because i played along
you're just a comma
you give me pause with your temporary charm
but i'm distorted
can't you see it when i'm underneath you
trying not to look alarmed
i'm not your bastard john
just because i played along
i'm not your bastard john
i'm not your bastard john
so don't try to fake me out
with some bulls*** promise that you didn't have to say
you present to me
just keeps on giving every damn day
i'm not your bastard john
