Bold= Nico
You call me on the telephone, you feel so far away
You tell me to come over, there's some games you wanna play
You keep staying up for me
Cause it kills you to watch me leave
But it kills me more to see that look on your face
It's so much easier to walk away (I’m comfortably afraid)
We're just playing hide and seek
It's getting hard to breathe under the sheets with you
Guess that I resent the thought of sentiment
So I push it away and I settle for lust
I don't give a fuck about you anyway
Whoever said I give a shit 'bout you?
And I won’t ever feel what you’re feeling
The damage is already done
Cause my heart is numb
It's never waking up
Wake up in your bedroom and there's nothin' left to say
When I try to talk, you're always playing board games
It’s gonna take a whole lot more
Than drugs and a candy store
To fix the hole that beats inside of my chest
Can’t bring something back to life once it’s dead (no)
We're just playing hide and seek
It's getting hard to breathe under the sheets with you
Guess that I resent the thought of sentiment
So I push it away and I settle for lust
I don't give a fuck about you anyway
Whoever said I give a shit 'bout you?
And I won’t ever feel what you’re feeling
The damage is already done
Cause my heart is numb
It's never waking up
Ring around the rosy
I never know, I never know what you need
I can be deceiving
But my eyes are telling the truth
So look a little closer
I don't give a fuck about you anyway
Whoever said I give a shit 'bout you?
And I won’t ever feel what you’re feeling
The damage is already done
Cause my heart is numb
It's never waking up
You know I give a fuck about you every day (It's never waking up)
Guess it's time that I tell you the truth (It's never waking up)
If I share my toys, will you let me stay? (It's never waking up)
Don't wanna leave this playdate with you
