You wanna make love, I want a coke
You said you wanna quit, well, I wanna smoke
You make the money, so I can stay broke
Say that you love me, but I know that you don't, yeah
I'm burning up lights and sleeping through days
I'm stuck between the shadows and the neon gaze
I wanted it real and not just a game
I needed your heart, but you just wanted to play, play, play
Slow rising
Shaking off the bad mistakes
High timing
I need you [?]
This is my heart you're breaking (this is my heart)
This is my love you're taking
Slow rising
But I'm waking up
You can't change your mind like you change your coats
You get me high and then you're leaving me low
Kissing my lips and you do it so slow
Just like that you go slamming my door
I can't take it, fake it, I'm feeling like I'm ready to go
Slow rising
Shaking off the bad mistakes
High timing
I need you [?]
This is my heart you're breaking (this is my heart)
This is my love you're taking
Slow rising
But I'm waking up
Slow rising
Shaking off my bad mistakes
High timing
I need you [?]
This is my heart you're breaking (this is my heart)
This is my love you're taking
Slow rising
But I'm waking up
Yeah, but I'm waking up
I'm waking up, I'm waking up
I'm shaking it off, shaking it off
All my bad mistakes
