Piqued - Modern Romance

I turned my back on you
Walked away straight down the hall where we first broke all the rules
With that grin you knew I'd be back. You lit the fire; I ate the match
Bouquets of empty promises were all you left on my backstep

Who was there to say I wasn't to blame?
If that's what you call love you put it to shame
Tight within your grasp, your hooks in me so deep
But they keep me afloat, oh they put me to sleep

The truth can set you free
But I've been on the run from mine since 2013
Patchouli scents and gray Civics remind me how you seemed so slick
Words with deeper meanings were all you ever whispered in the cold

Who was there to say I wasn't to blame?
If that's what you call love you put it to shame
Tight within your grasp, your hooks in me so deep
But they keep me afloat, oh they put me to sleep

Never come around again, no more words to hold you in
Fan the flames that caught too bright; wrong can feel so right

I can't breathe in this room, your walls close on my home
You like me at sixteen cause I don't know what that means
I don't know what to say, I don't know what to do
Smiles of lust mean nothing when I'm not the only one

Who was there to say I wasn't to blame?
If that's what you call love you put it to shame
Tight within your grasp, your hooks in me so deep
But they keep me afloat, oh they put me to sleep
