lyrics

Keep your name I don't wanna share my fame
oh you're lame I don't trust you called me sane
oh holding, my hands, my cane, my heart
you think that I'm tame, are you crazed, I put your love in my vein

Out of all the tapes I have took the time to rewind
there's damaged film with black lines
with eyes like this and a heart of shit
I'm not surprised that I learned how to miss it

Don't you recall this most recent fall behind that bar
I kissed you hard against your car
oh you can't out last that lasso around your head oh your poor neck
oh kiss me hard before we before we both are dead

You don't stand a chance
you don't stand a chance
you don't stand a chance
you don't stand a chance

For the ones who decided to quit me
I've never seen cold turkey done so successfully
I said successfully, not potentially
I said successfully
