Have To

(album: Upright, Love - 2012)

I'm not a genius
I don't pretend to be
I'm kind of mouthy
And I intend to be
And I'm a hot mess
There's no defending me
It's sweet assault and battery
So go ahead and bend to me
And if I'm poison
Are you the remedy?
Can we be friendly
Or are we destined to be enemies?
And if my heart breaks
It's not the end
But you can't return-to-sender me, babe
And we can crush that strange
But you should know
That I'm not the sweet kind

I can't help you
I can't feed you
I can't love you
But I can bleed you
I just
I just
I just need you now
I just feel like I have to
Just feel like I have to
I just feel like I have to
Oh oh, oh oh, uh

You make me shiver
You make me tingly
You're so [?] brilliant
You slightly sicken me
Oh, let me be the root cause of your misery
I'll cause your maladies
And use up all your sympathy
I've no applicable use for your chivalry
Don't be too gentle or I won't think you're into me
Spare your prayers, 'cause I don't need your ministry
Can't even finish me, babe
So we can crush that strange
But you should know
You're not gonna be fine

'Cause I can't help you
I can't feed you
I can't love you
But I can bleed you
I just
I just
I just need you now
I just feel like I have to
Just feel like I have to
I just feel like I have to
Oh oh, oh oh, uh

So we can stand right there
Not touching at all
We can stand right here
Doing nothing at all
We can stand right here
At the edge of the canyon
Just watching it fall
We can stand right here
Not touching at all
We can stand right here
And do nothing at all
We can stand right here
At the edge of the canyon
Just watching it
Watching it fall
We can stand right there
Not touching at all
We can stand right here
Doing nothing at all
And we can stand right here
At the edge of the canyon
Just watching
Just watch
Just
Oh, we can stand right here
Not touching at all
We can stand right here
Doing nothing at all
We can stand right here
At the edge of the canyon
Just watch
Just watching

I can't help you
I can't feed you
I can't love you
But I can bleed you
I just
I just
I just need you now
I can't help you
I can't feed you
I can't love you
But I can bleed you
I just
I just
I just need you now
I just feel like I have to
I just feel like I have to
I just feel like I have to
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh oh
