Heartbreaker

(album: Carry The Ghost - 2015)

Settle down, head against the window
counting hours by the handful of plastic bottle shots
coming home, sleeping in my own bed
waking up to the silence
I'm no good at this at all

I need a good distraction, honey if you could come by
and hold me like you want me, like that would make me happy,
like that would take the pain away if only for a while
and maybe in the morning, leave without a warning
just a note on the pillowcase that says “I never wanted more”

Cuddle up, wrap your arms around me
don't lace it up with sympathy
it's just easy if you're sleeping
soon enough I'll be leaving here tomorrow,
and all the pain and the sorrow makes it easier to go

I need a good distraction, honey if you could come by
and hold me like you want me, like that would make me happy,
like that would take the pain away if only for a while
and maybe in the morning, leave without a warning
just a note on the pillowcase that says “I never wanted more”

oh, heartbreaker, name-taker, ladies man,
oh, heartbreaker, name-taker, heartbreaker, ladies man, oh
