10 Minutes To Monday - False Pretenses

I found out the other day
I found it out the hard way
The way that uses mental knives and ripping off the curtain rods
That I'm not just a woman like I thought

Brought myself in under false pretenses, lied to make me stay
Checked my bags at the door, or rather threw them all away
Burned the bridges that I needed to, I thought it'd be okay
Now the paranoia's building and I've got nowhere to stay, but I'm

Checked out, I'm settling down
Too many facets of my life are sleeping around
And I'm no taste, a killer on my feet
When I'm too high to remember the beat
Well I've been here too long to remember
Has the ice melted yet, are you gonna call me a quitter?
I'm a lightweight, who's light on my toes
Who am I gonna hurt next, nobody knows

Pheromones are fucked up, my scent is changing fast
Give me one more chance to prove I'm not the person from my past
Give me a break, I'm not her anymore, I'm somebody new
If anyone would know, it's me: I know me better than you, well I'm

Riding high the tide of all these new experiences
Bought me a ticket to a place with no coincidences
Burning rubber fast. and I'm taking my time with it
Slow down, slow down
Nah. go faster with it

Checked out, I'm settling down
Too many facets of my life are sleeping around
And I'm no taste, a killer on my feet
When I'm too high to remember the beat
And I've been here too long to remember
Has the ice melted yet, are you gonna call me a quitter?
I'm a lightweight, who's light on my toes
Who am I gonna hurt next, nobody knows

Now listen before I make you

Now I think it's important to clarify
I'm not just going down the route of me/myself/I
I've got a plan to follow, what I feel, what I've always felt
If they can't get on your level, tell 'em all to go to hell

Checked out, I'm settling down
Sometimes the best and better life is sleeping around
And I'm no taste, a killer on my feet
When I'm too high to remember the beat
And I've been here too long to remember
Has the ice melted yet, are you gonna call me a quitter?
I'm a lightweight, who's light on my toes
Who am I gonna hurt next, nobody knows
