i’ve played for thousands of faces without breaking a sweat
but sitting next to you melts me all shades of red
because you make the water recede from my neck
and nobody has managed to do that yet
can i call you?
just to hear you, just to talk to you
your voice comforts me
and i could use a little comforting
when you look like fire
you smell like smoke
but your fumes
never made me turn my nose
and i just want you to know that
i’m here to cheer you on
and i hope you find someone while i’m gone
while i’m gone
even though i won’t be long (x2)
i’ve played for thousands of faces without breaking a sweat
but sitting next to you melts me all shades of red
because you make the water recede from my neck
and nobody has managed to do that yet
you make the water recede from my neck
and nobody has managed to do that yet
find someone who will give you the world
just not the one we live in
someone who couldn’t care less
about the condition of the skin you’re fashioned in
i’m here to cheer you on
and i hope you find someone while i’m gone
while i’m gone
even though i won’t be long (x2)
i’ve played for thousands of faces without breaking a sweat
but sitting next to you melts me all shades of red
because you make the water recede from my neck
and nobody has managed to do that yet (x2)
can i call you?
just to hear you, just to talk to you
your voice comforts me
and i could use a little comforting
when you look like fire
you smell like smoke
but your fumes
never made me turn my nose
but your fumes
never made me turn my nose

It’s humorous
how you can go so long without knowing someone exists
now i’m wasting all my time wondering how I missed
someone like this
they say don’t do the crime
if you can’t do the time
and you can’t pay
so I know that I need to walk away
but what can I say?
you’re a tough habit to break
the truth is I know
i’ll never have you
but I still want you
even though I’m not supposed to
I know you love a girl
and she gives you her best
so I’ll wait ‘till she's gone when your heart is a mess
wasting time on you has been my favorite regret
and I’ve still got much of this life to spend with you yet
but what can I say?
you’re a tough habit to break
the truth is I know
i’ll never have you
but I still want you
even though I’m not supposed to (x2)
you still have me and I hate it
my chance is so outdated (x4)
the truth is I know
i’ll never have you
but I still want you
even though I’m not supposed to (x2)
it’s humorous how I missed someone like this
