We didn't have those candy coated pills
And I lie about the way it feels
I only did it cause you did it
If you wanted it I'd get it
We'd tried anything just once
You tried everyone but me
I couldn't keep I couldn't keep up.
You should have waited
You should have wanted me
You should have waited
It's haunting you still told me
Would you feel my skin from underneath (you try anything just once)
I enter intravenously (I try I try)
My achilles heel unlike a chandelier
You taught me how to crawl
You should have waited
You should have wanted me
You should have waited
It's haunting you still told me
(Home is only where I'm wanted
I'm betting on thawing)
Now when you see me
I know you're sorry
Or at least you should be
You see straight through me
Like I'm dead already
