We hide our alcohol in bottles of Listerine
And I bet that I'm the biggest nightmare you've ever seen
We think it's funny how we're being mean

And we say things we don't understand
But I'm too proud to ask for
your hand.

You say look this way
Well I look and you know the sky turns to grey
You say "baby, come over here"
Well I do and now the fire's everywhere

I am like a curse everywhere that I go
Bringing you down while I stop the show
And I know it's tempting when you say "show love to me"
But I've hit rock bottom and I'm too scared to leave.

I'm sure it feels nice depending on something else
But I can't turn my back from the liquor on my shelf
You're eyes are saying "can you work with me?"
My blood starts pumping and I feel complete

At my place you know it's always winter time
There's snow on the table in pretty white lines
And I take it all up with hundred dollar bills
Cause someone told that's how all the cool girls get killed

You say look this way
Well I look and you know the sky turns to grey
You say "baby, come over here"
Well I do and now the fire's everywhere

I am like a curse everywhere that I go
Bringing you down while I stop the show
And I know it's tempting when you say "show love to me"
But I've hit rock bottom and I'm too scared to leave.

I
Can't leave.
