Freaks

(album: Mallory Knox - 2019)

You're about to give up on me
Even I don't believe a word I say
'Cause I'm down in the dirt, you see
I'm knocked down by my selfish ways

And ooh, I fell into you (yeah)
A look did all the damage too (yeah)
You burn just life a fever
But I just make you sicker
I couldn't hide a thing from you

Well maybe I wanted sympathy
Maybe I wanted you to act that way
'Cause tough love is a bitch to me
I can't deal with the things you say

But it's true, the things that I do (ooh)
They do all the damage too (ooh)
I always get a shiver
When I look in the mirror
How can I mean a lot to you?

I can hear you run
From a mile away
With your loaded gun
As you aim away from the truth
I don't want that freak to get you
Girl, I know you love when you know that I've tried
I don't want that freak to get you, when I
Would stay up all night

My fragile mind is a friend to me
Need an excuse to drink more and more most days
But deep down it's an enemy
What's my excuse when ya walk away?

And ooh, I fell for you (ooh)
You're smiling 'cause you know it's true (ooh)
Yeah baby we're all sinners
We all have misdemeanours
I'd do it all again for you

I can hear you run
From a mile away
With your loaded gun
As you aim away from the truth
'Cause I don't want that freak to get you
And girl, I know you love when you know that I've tried
I don't want that freak to get you, when I
Would stay up all night

You can dance with me for one last song
Lights go out, I'll be what you want
Long road home it might take all night
One last rush, baby one last tim
So come on

I can hear you run
From a mile away
With your loaded gun
As you aim away from the truth
'Cause I don't want that freak to get you
Girl, I know you love when you know that I've tried
I don't want that freak to get you, when I
Would stay up all night
Would stay up all night
Would stay up all night
