Search me and all you'll find on me is heartache
Kiss me one last time and I'll move along
Touch me so I can start building resistance
How many times do I have to say I'm wrong?

Leave me so I can stop feeding reaction
What are the chances we live to end up alone?
I wish I knew where I could look to avoid distraction
Every engagement sneaks in a trial of its own

Even when ends get met
Promises get to get broken
Bleeding your heart dry
Bleeding your heart dry

I see the tattoo on your neck
Match the details of your dress
I see the vanities on fire
With your maneuvers to impress
I see the wrong boy wrack his brain

Trying to keep you entertained
I see the loneliness surround you
With all your verdicts in the drain
Make mistakes while you can
Keep your eyes on him
But see me instead

Lend your favor, your dime store favor
You don't have to kneel to protect your heart
Maybe this time, maybe next time, maybe never
What's a long time when you've burnt your laurels?

Even when ends get met
Promises get to get broken
Bleeding your heart dry
Bleeding your heart dry

And now the tattoo on my neck
Matches the details of your dress
But all the intimacy's dead
And complications start to set

I'll hear the wrong voice in my head
Say the words I wish I'd say
Yes, all the things I wish
All the things I wish I'd say

Lay your head on him
But see me instead
'Cause what he says in the nighttime
Won't be true in the morning
Make mistakes while you can
Lay your head on him
But see me instead
