Takes one to know A lost, confused and careless one Takes time to lose the other When our freedom's won Well, I held out a ribbon And you cut off my arms and tongue So impatient and head over heels Skipping heartbeats and skipping meals Still, nobody knows How you let me put my hands up Under your shirt when they get cold How you let me in And let your guard down When there's no one else around Admit that I'm scared I'll open my palms and grab hold of the air Been part of so many illusions It's hard to dare But I held out a ribbon And you declared me open So impatient and head over heels Skipping heartbeats and skipping meals Still, nobody knows How you let me put my hands up Under your shirt when they get cold How you let me in And let your guard down When there's no one else around How you let me put my hands up Under your shirt when they get cold How you let me in And let your guard down When there's no one else around How old patterns are torn New links have been formed How you let me put my hands up (hands up) (Under your shirt) when they get cold How you let me in And let your guard down When there's no one else around How you let me put my hands up Under your shirt when they get cold How you let me in And let your guard down When there's no one else around How you let me put my hands in Under your jeans when they get cold How you hold me ever so close Nobody's seen Nobody knows how you let me in Nobody's seen Nobody knows how you let me in

Isn't it funny? You talk so much behind my back But then you hug me Turning around, twisting the facts But call me buddy Backhanded compliments Black-sanded coasts But waters too cold Waves wild as your arguments Thought about it once I don't see the problem Think about it twice If this is worth the trouble Think it's what you want And what you want, I got it Better take your time You better make up your mind Now I got all this bad blood On my white shirt But I keep it so I know All the nice things Yes, you turn them into Something that they're not I know things are not like they used to be Why can't you just be happy for me? Fighting this war What is it for? What is the point? Always holding back the blessing And I really hate it Nobody's gon' steal your crown Even if I make it Don't know why I'm caught up in the drama tryna fake it We're slowly fading, fading, fading Thought about it once (just once) I don't see the problem Think about it twice (twice) If this is worth the trouble Think it's what you want And what you want, I got it Better take your time You better make up your mind (Fuck it) Now I got all this bad blood On my white shirt But I keep it so I know All the nice things Yes, you turn them into Something that they're not I know things are not like they used to be Why can't you just be happy for me? Fighting this war What is it for? What is the point? Now I got all this bad blood On my white shirt But I keep it so I know All the nice things Yes, you turn them into Something that they're not I know things are not like they used to be Why can't you just be who you wanna be? Sick of this war What is it for? What is the point? I don't need your applause, no, no What I want is a companion So I let you hear me out before I get rid of your toxins I know things are not like they used to be Why can't you just be happy for me? Fighting this war What is it for? What is the point? I know things are not like they used to be Why can't you just be who you wanna be? Sick of this war What is it for? What is the point?
