Intro
Verse 1
Make sure nobody sees you leave
Hood over your head, keep your eyes
down
Tell your friends you’re out for
a run, you&
rsquo;ll be flushed when you return
Take the road less traveled by
Tell yourself you can always
stop
What started in beautiful rooms
ends with meetings in parking lots
Chorus
And that’s the thing
about illicit affair
s and clandestine meetings and longing stares
It&rs
quo;s born from jus
t one single glance, b
ut it dies and it dies and it d
ies a million little times
Verse 2
Leave the perfume on the shelf
that you picked out just for
him
So you leave no trace behind,
like you
don’t even exist
Take the words for what they are:
a dwindling mercurial
high, a drug that only worked
The first few hundred times
Chorus
And that’s the thing
about illicit affair
s and clandestine meetings and stolen stares
They
show their truth one
single time, but they
lie and they lie and they lie a
million little times
Bridge
And you wanna scream:
don’t call me “kid,” don’t call me “baby”
Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me
You showed me colors you know I can’t see
with anyone else
Don’t call me “kid,” don’t call me “baby”
Look at this idiotic fool that you made me
You taught me a secret language I can’t speak
with anyone else
Outro
And you
know
damn
well, for you I would
ruin myself a
million little times
