lyrics

I think that it's time to hang up the line
I'm tired of waiting on hold
Tell me what i should know
Crystals and tarot
Every secret i've known, i've told

Just as i begin to tattoo your skin
You're wishing you could wash me off
I talk to ghosts, they've taught me to let go
But this was too rare to be a crush
The bitter sweet taste of accepting your fate
Should be served with a side of lime
And welcome the sting that numbing the pain brings
Prepare to feel bad all the time

Ooh
Ooh

The drunkest i've been, no judgment or vision
And not one ounce of wine touched my lips
What kind of animal eats til he's had his full and leaves his prey with a kiss
Took less than a day to plan your escape
My whole life to treasure what i've found
But now i'm not sure of nothing no more
Ever since my love shot me down

Ooh
Ooh

Its funny cuz i thought i knew you
Tragically cast as the fool
But ill play this part like i showcase my scars
As if im proud that i need to

I think that it's time to hang up the line
I'm tired of waiting on hold
Tell me what I should know
Therapy and introspection tell me to let go
