Eve Christina - lungs

Take off your shoes
It's getting late
And you're the reason I don't sleep
Willing to give more than I take
I'm just a secret that you keep
And getting weaker now
You've figured out
You've got a hold on me
I'd risk my life
Drive late at night
If it meant sleeping skin on skin
You'd turn away
Back to my face
But I'd be grateful that I'm in
The bed of somebody
Who tolerates my company
There must be something wrong with me
To settle so uncomfortably
Take my lungs
Tie them up
That still wouldn't hurt as much
As when he lies there
Hand in my hair
And says of course it isn't love
Laughs then goes
"I thought you'd know"
Well that's a pretty fucked up joke
Anyone would wander home
But that would mean being alone
I'd rather lie there
I'd rather lie there and
Laugh until I cry there
Video games I never play
But you've been practicing for years
Rewatch the films you know I hate
I'm certain I could disappear
You wouldn't feel a thing
It's strange to think
You asked me to be here
I'd rearrange entire days
Just on the off chance that you're free
To lead me on in other ways
I shouldn't make it so easy
We used to talk for weeks
But talking lost it's novelty
The devil lies on top of me
I'd rather that than nobody
Take my lungs
Tie them up
That still wouldn't hurt as much
As when he lies there
Hand in my hair
And says "don't go falling in love"
Force a smile
"Of course I won't"
But that's a pretty fucked up joke
Anyone would wander home
But that would mean being alone
I'd rather lie there
I'd rather lie there and
Laugh until I cry there
Tired eyes
I see where this is going
It's too late to drive
My weakness is showing
Don't act so surprised
Just one more night
Honestly
The hardest part of all of this
Is watching me
Becoming all the things I said I'd never be
Oh honestly
