lyrics

My own words will betray me
I'm tongue-tied from this wishful thinking
Because you're everything I want
And everything I never got
So don't hold your breath
Because it's nothing more than useless
But know I regret this

Loose lips sink ships
So say it like you mean it
I hate the way, I hate the way you bite your tongue
I'm just the ghost that warms your sheets
Your favourite worst memory
I hate the way, I hate the way you bite your tongue

Keep your eyes in your sockets where they belong
Keep your charm safety-pinned to the tip of your tongue
I don't belong underneath your thumb
So don't waste your time
Because it's not worth the weight in gold
But you love wasting mine

You cage your words behind your teeth
Are you afraid to mean them?
I'm just a secret that you keep
That you'll later regret
You cage your words behind your teeth
Are you afraid to mean them?
I'm just a secret that you keep
