Lyrics

And you run away, with your hands in the air and another mark of hate on your face 
Today
You’ve been throwing your darts 
But someone always gets in the way
The times are changing for your own sake 
There’s only so much pride you can fake 
Then you play “dumb” and wonder what the law has to say 

Cause nobody told him 
If it’s alright, if it’s ok 
And everyone showed him that it’s his right 
Don’t get in the way 

And you run away, with your gun in your hand and another DDC to your name  
Again 
You were doomed from the start 
Now someones tryna put you away 
Suppose you better find who to blame
Another broken heart on the way 
And you play dumb today 
Why’d you have to be so rough 
And why’d you have to be so tough 
And you play dumb and wonder what the law has to say 

And all you want to be is someone that can speak with their arms 
It’s never gonna be enough
It’s never gonna be enough 

And all you wanna hear is everyone to say you were right 
Why’d you have to be so rough
Why’d you have to be so tough

Cause nobody told him 
If it’s alright, if it’s ok 
And everyone showed him 
That it’s his right
Don’t get in the way 

Cause nobody told him 
If it’s alright, if it’s ok 
And everyone showed him 
That it’s his right
Don’t get in the way 

Take you away 
Take you away 
Take you away 
Take you away

Hesitate

Two Seater

(Verse 1)
You slide in like static on the radio
Midnight perfume, dressed in vertigo
Eyes like crime scenes, lips a cigarette
I lit your fuse, but I’m the one who’s wrecked

(Pre-Chorus)
You said, “Love’s a game,” and I’m a bad sport
Always chasing hearts I can’t afford

(Chorus)
Velvet cigarettes and neon sins
You’re poison wrapped in silk and gin
I swear I saw heaven when you said my name
Now I’m coughing up stars in your hurricane
You taste like trouble, and I’m still addicted
Every kiss a crime, and I got convicted

(Verse 2)
We danced like secrets on the fire escape
Your laugh was louder than my big mistakes
I should’ve known from the start,
You play guitars like you play hearts

(Pre-Chorus)
Said “Don’t get close,” but pulled me in tight
I lost my head in your blacklight

(Chorus)
Velvet cigarettes and neon sins
You’re poison wrapped in silk and gin
I swear I saw heaven when you said my name
Now I’m coughing up stars in your hurricane
You taste like trouble, and I’m still addicted
Every kiss a crime, and I got convicted

(Bridge)
And now your ghost is in my speakers
Singing lies in perfect pitch
I tried to quit you cold,
But you're the needle and the itch

(Final Chorus)
Velvet cigarettes and neon sins
I’d light you up all over again
Even if it burns, I’ll take the flame
You're the bruise that feels like fame
You taste like trouble, and I’m still addicted
Love like yours should be restricted
