lyrics

I'm sorry, ma
I am not that great
Expect what you hate
And that is what you get
Don't you wanna hear me talk about things?
I'm not that keen, but I am legit love

Put down your shield
I won't do no harm
I long yet deserve
The warmth inside your arms
Why'd you go and drop me out of focus like that?
It's so sad when emotions turn our backs

There is no heart I'd like to sing to more
It brought me to life, I found it on the floor
Don't say a word, I'll just bring you up to bed
Tomorrow you can promise me our one, and only pledge
To cleanse our bodies

Take me away
To a place where we are one
I'll hold my breath
Make sure to bite my tongue
While millions of bacteria piss in our blood
Forget all of that, and forgive what we have done

This moments feeling is one I should turn towards
To save you from a life that surely only implores
Mentally unstable love, hearts hangin' on a ledge
Take what you have and dispose of it to initiate our pledge
To cleanse our bodies

You are your biggest mistake
Don't wander the path that your head makes
It's just a trap your ego wants to take
It's not you, so don't call it that
