Shady Business

My hands and hair smell of smoke

My tongue of old, black lust and jokes

Oh no

That have been passed through liars

Lips on to this old, weathered parchment

That has been torn to shreds

That had stated

I was there for everything

That you needed me to, to hold on

I know I didn't say enough

But I know you can't go forcing love

I know I shouldn't call you up

'Cause I'd look so desperate for your love

Got caught on calloused heels

Barefoot, undressed, and such a mess

Unprepared for the next event

You said you had to go

What happened to the boy you used to know?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

But I stated

I was there for everything

That you needed me for

Just hold on

Sick of how I tip-toe through problems

Looking for a way out

And around them

I know I didn't say enough

But I know you can't go forcing love

I know I shouldn't call you up

'Cause I'd look so desperate for your love

I broke someone's heart

Too bad that it happened to be my own

Come home

I can promise a better man

We can push things

Start, start fresh, introduce ourselves again

And mend all these aching battle scars

I know I didn't say enough

But who says you can't go forcing love?

I know I didn't say enough

But who says you can't go forcing love?

I know I shouldn't call you up

'Cause I'd look so desperate for your love
