plague

I would've sworn I know you best
Heard your heartbeat inside your chest
Know how you mumble in your sleep
But you don't talk about your dreams

You used to kiss my head and tell me lies

Now you avoid me like the plague
Like I'm someone you hate
Do I remind you of the things you've done?
I guess it's easier to run
But wait (ah-ah)
I keep digging up the grave (ah-ah)
There must be something that I could've done (ah-ah)
A part of me that you could want (ah-ah)

It's cliché, but so it goes
You lash out when I get too close
(Mm) all mean words and gritted teeth
(Mm) thought you'd soften up for me

So, I tried to love you real polite

Now you avoid me like the plague
Like I'm someone you hate
Do I remind you of the things you've done?
I guess it's easier to run
But wait (ah-ah)
I keep digging up the grave (ah-ah)
There must be something that I could've done (ah-ah)
A part of me that you could want (ah-ah)

I was curled up in your palm
And now we're not even friends
You can't turn people into homes (mm-hm)
And I know, I really tried to be yours (ah, ah, ah)
Ah-ah-ah, ah
