Tongues & Teeth

I’ve grown a mouth so sharp and cruel
it’s all that I can give to you my dear
and when you come in quick to steal a kiss
my teeth will only cut your lips my dear
I know that you mean so well
but I am not a vessel for your good intent
I will only break your pretty things
I will only ring you dry of everything
and if you’re fine with that
you can be mine like that
abandon all your stupid dreams about the girl I could’ve been my dear
cause in the night I know you burn with feelings I can not return my dear
oh my dear
you’ve gotta know that this won’t last
desperation will erase the fact I’m keeping all
of the answers in my cigarette box
