lyrics

I could smell your cheap perfume on the chaos in your wake
Though the tattoo forged upon your neck should have warned to stay away
I’ve tried about everything, to get you outa my brain

I thought I was doing so well, thought I found a way to break your spell
Like nobody in this town, could find a way to bring me down
I’ll confide, you read my mind, got to get away
Yeah!

The price I paid in serenades, and the nights spent in despair
As you found a way to catch my eye, even when you were not there
I‘d try about anything, to get you outa my brain

Though I craved your touch like first kiss of winter sun
You weren’t satisfied with everything and everyone
I’ll confide, you read my mind, got to get away
Yeah!

Walking hand in hand, my pulse began to rise
But I couldn’t be enough to satisfy
These scars are starting to show
This game is getting old
But I assure you I’ll return

Walking hand in hand, my pulse began to rise
But I couldn’t be enough to satisfy
These scars are starting to show
This game is getting old
But I assure you I’ll return
Yeah!
