lyrics

"I've got to leave
I've got to take some time for myself
This one's all on me
and I swear its not how it sounds."

I guess that doesn't sound so bad
no, not if you don't look deeper.
Maybe forget all the things I said I meant
though I swear that I believed them.

To say what you mean...
my god that seems unheard of.
This is more like hell than it is like a dream
and darling I'm so scared

that you won't forgive me
Because I know what I've seen.

The only time you show those teeth of yours
is when I'm spitting mine out on your floor &
I hate to say it but if theres one thing I've learned
its that, when it comes to love, I never learn

I remember when we took that drive through your town
& you showed me where you lived and told me about
all the good times you had with your old friends.
Ill be your new old friend.

Then we parked on the side
of the road and turned off the headlights.
We sat in silence [and] I saw you smile
but, god damn, girl,l would it kill you to smile just a little wider?

The only time you show those teeth of yours
is when I'm spitting mine out on your floor &
I'll still keep your secrets safe
though I don't have the strength to be up this late.
you've go my stomach tied in knots so tight
Because I can't help but wait
until we bury the hatchet and make this right.

The only time you show those teeth of yours
is when I'm spitting mine out on your floor &
I had to say it but if theres one thing I've learned
its when it comes to love you never learn.

The only time you let me in
is after whiskey cokes and your tonic gin &
I had to say it but I know that you'll agree
if this ain't love then, baby, I've got to _
