They like to tell me they're all different But they all talk in tongues And I like the way she walks away When she's on her way to fill up my whiskey With the ice she chipped off her heart Am I seeing into you, or are you as transparent as your father Is it a dead star I taste on your lips Getting caught up in what you could have been Getting caught up in what I could have been And what you left When you stumbled out with half your clothes this morning You're the kind of girl who makes me disgusted by my own love songs And you may be good at flirting, but you're no poet You left this morning and left the door open And I haven't worked up the courage to get out of bed and close it Sick of gamblin' When you get sick at the end of the night, and you just leave all your tokens in the money robot Maybe it's somebody else's night to get lucky, you think I've got a number written on my hand, and I hope it gets washed away Because moments like you don't ever stay as long as the pain
