Album: Mercedes Five and Dime

Pleasing Falsetto

I want, I want, I wanted to

You came to grind me into stone
Polishing the angled flesh and bone
The smallest cut to drain my soul
Precious words of comfort swallowed whole

Oh no, she said that I tried for love
And I died for love
But I'd kill for you
I want, I want, I wanted to

You tore the makeup from my face
With every acid word you ever knew
Now every line and crack exposed
Exploited fully till each scar shone through

Oh no, she said that I tried for love
And I died for love
But I'd kill for you

You know I'd never promise anything
That's alright, I know you wanted to
Never meant to promise anything
That's alright, I know you wanted to
No, I never promised anything
That's alright, I know you wanted to be, to be, to be with me

You came to grind me into stone
Polishing the angled flesh and bone
The smallest cut to drain my soul
Precious words of comfort swallowed whole

Oh no, she said that I tried for love
And I died for love
But I'd kill for you
I want, I want, I wanted to take

Strip me from the top down
Rip me from the raw
Oh, from this higher place
Don't want to die
Don't want to die
I don't want to die
I don't want to die
I don't want to die
Oh no
I don't want to die
I don't want to die
I don't want to die
