Two Ghosts

[Chorus]
We’re two ghosts in different bedrooms
Trying to remember the steps
Trying to remember what love is
Trying to understand why I love him less

[Verse 1]
You left your mark on my body
You left your mark on my heart
Now I’m trying to tear it out
But it’s just leaving me scarred
I’ve got all this tissue
Healed over with time
They said time would fix this
But the scar’s still bleeding

[Chorus]
We’re two ghosts in different bedrooms
Trying to remember the steps
Trying to remember what love is
Trying to understand why I love him less

[Verse 2]
He’s speaking to me in a foreign tongue
I curve my lips and I nod along
He’s touching me and his hands slip right through
He’s singing melodies but my heart’s in a different tune
It’s still beating to the rhythm of you

[Chorus]
We’re two ghosts in different bedrooms
Trying to remember the steps
Trying to remember what love is
Trying to understand why I love him less

[Bridge]
We’re two ghosts in different bedrooms
Why aren’t we together?
We’re two ghosts in different bedrooms
Our love died, so we said this is better
We survived, so we wrote it in letters
Shook hands, said that it was a pleasure
Smiles tight but we stretched them like leather
It was dark days and we gave in to pressure
I’m not sure, not sure this is better
But I guess desperate times called for desperate measures

[Outro]
We’re two ghosts in different bedrooms
Hating each other
We’re two ghosts in different bedrooms
Missing each other
Two ghosts in different bedrooms
I was never a ghost when I was with you

Honey

[Intro]
Don’t make me break your heart
Don’t make me break your heart

[Verse 1]
When you touch me
I feel it to my feet
When you love me
You love unconditionally
When you mold me
You try so hard
But I’m not the kind of girl you make into art

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve got sharp edges
So be careful not to cut yourself
I’ve got rough hands
So be careful to brace yourself

[Chorus]
You called me honey
But I’m more like vinegar
I burn your nose and your throat
And you try to speak love
But I just make you choke
And I could try to be sweet
Try to be all that you need
But that’s not me

[Post-Chorus]
Baby
Don’t make me break your heart
Don’t make me break your heart

[Verse 2]
I’ll kiss your mouth
And say I’d rather be alone for the night
I’ll hold you close
And say I don’t need you in my life
And all the ones before you
Said I was hard to please
That I’ve got a stinging tongue
And I don’t mean to be but I can be so mean

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve got sharp edges
So be careful not to cut yourself
I’ve got rough hands
So be careful to brace yourself

[Chorus]
You called me honey
But I’m more like vinegar
I burn your nose and your throat
And you try to speak love
But I just make you choke
And I could try to be sweet
Try to be all that you need
But that’s not me

[Post-Chorus]
Baby
Don’t make me break your heart
Don’t make me break your heart

[Bridge]
I’m not sweet like honey
Maybe if I were you’d always love me
I’m not sweet like honey
Maybe if I were you’d always love me
I’m not sweet like honey
(My only guarantee)
Baby, I’ll make it sting

Sharp edges
Rough hands x2

[Chorus]
You called me honey
But I’m more like vinegar
I burn your nose and your throat
And you try to speak love
But I just make you choke
And I could try to be sweet
Try to be all that you need
But that’s not me

[Outro]
Baby, I’m not sweet like honey
Baby, I’ll just leave a sting

Loved You Dangerously

[Verse 1]
Seeing you with him
Oh, it messes me up
Knowing you could do without me
So, I’m the one you gave up

Maybe I’m the fool
I should have known that
If he ever called your name
You’d go running right back

[Pre-Chorus]
I can see it on your face
I can hear it in your words
You’re thinking of his smile
Thinking of his curves
Thinking bout how he heals you
Bout how it never hurts

[Chorus]
But if it never hurts
Is it really real?
Can you get high
Without the pain
Can you be happy
If you’re never sad or lonely
Maybe he’s better for you than me
But baby I loved you dangerously
Baby I loved you with all of me

[Verse 2]
In a city this size
I should never see your face
But I still go to those places
Where they know us by name
And they tell me they’ve seen you
Another man on your arm
Maybe I’m addicted to the pain
Cause it reminds me you’re gone

[Pre-Chorus]
I saw it on your face
I heard it in your words
You were thinking of his smile
Thinking of his curves
Thinking bout how he healed you
Bout how it never hurt

[Chorus]
But if it never hurts
Is it really real?
Can you get high
Without the pain
Can you be happy
If you’re never sad or lonely
Maybe he’s better for you than me
But baby I loved you dangerously
Baby I loved you with all of me

[Verse 3]
Your friends tell me you’re happy
I’m truly glad for that
I could never stand, to see you cry
But it was when I knew you loved me
When there were tears in your eyes

They tell me you don’t cry for him
Makes me wonder why

[Pre-Chorus]
Can he see it on your face?
Can he hear it in your words?
Are you thinking of my smile
Thinking of my curves
Thinking bout how I healed you
After every time it hurt

[Chorus]
Cause if it never hurts
Is it really real?
Can you get high
Without the pain
Can you be happy
If you’re never sad or lonely
Maybe he’s better for you than me
But baby I loved you dangerously
Baby I loved you with all of me

Heartlines

[Verse 1]
I kissed your lips
And it felt like lust
You pulled me close
And turned my heart to dust
Now everyone, stops and stares
At the mess we’ve made of us

[Chorus]
Don’t tell me you love me
Cause we’re just playing games
Your heart’s a prison
And mine is a weight
Sinking me down
I’ll drown in your lies
You’ll find me at the bottom
Dress me in white
Can you hear my heartlines?

[Verse 2]
So this is where you brought me
To the dark that you keep
You said your love was a bird
But your lust was all that you heard
So why, oh why?
Did you fall asleep at my bedside?

So this is where I brought you
To the depths that I’ve kept
As cold and heartless as I
I said my love was a sea
But my lust was all that I need
So why, oh why?
Did I hold on so tight?

[Chorus]
Don’t tell me you love me
Cause we’re just playing games
Your heart’s a prison
And mine is a weight
Sinking me down
I’ll drown in your lies
You’ll find me at the bottom
Dress me in white
Can you hear my heartlines?

[Bridge]
Don’t look now
At what we’ve done
We’ll never confess
We gave what we promised
And nothing less
If you got a little taste
And you got a little greedy
It’s not my fault
You’ll have to live without me
Just don’t forget to breathe
Oh don’t forget to breathe
Cause sometimes, I forget to

[Chorus]
Don’t tell me you love me
Cause we were just playing games
Your heart’s a prison
And mine is a weight
Sinking me down
I’ll drown in your lies
You’ll find me at the bottom
Dress me in white
Oh, can you hear my heartlines?

[Outro]
Can you hear my heartlines?
Oh, oh oh
Can you hear my heartlines?

A Better Man

[Chorus]
I’m not saying he’s wrong
Not saying you should move on
But you could do with a better man than him
A better man than his friends
A better man than who he is
And who he’s been
You could do with a better man
Than him

[Verse 1]
He’ll tell you that he loves you
But only when you say it first
And he’ll open the door for you
But only when you’re at your worst

He’s got all his friends
And they’re always around
But they all act like you don’t count
And he never says anything
He just laughs along

[Chorus]
I’m not saying he’s wrong
Not saying you should move on
But you could do with a better man than him
A better man than his friends
A better man than who he is
And who he’s been
You could do with a better man
Than him

[Verse 2]
Does he ask about your family?
Does he ask about your friends?
Does he listen to you talking?
Or does he just wait for it to end?

Does he make you feel loved?
Does he make you feel like the one?
Does he give you his all?
Or does he give you what’s left when he’s done?

[Chorus]
I’m not saying he’s wrong
Not saying you should move on
But you could do with a better man than him
A better man than his friends
A better man than who he is
And who he’s been
You could do with a better man
Than him

[Bridge]
The choice is yours
I won’t pretend that I decide
But I heard somewhere that love is compromise
All you ever do is sacrifice
Your happiness for his
Your love is for a man
But he’s still just a kid

[Outro]
I’m saying, saying it, he’s wrong
I’m telling you to move on
Cause you can do with a better man
A better man than him
A better man than his friends
A better man than who he is
And who he’s been
You could do with a better man
Than him
