Bite Me

(album: Blood Orange - 2023)

Saw you at the supermarket yesterday
Buying pastries you once bought for me
For the girl who must have captured your heart
7 months since I have seen your face
Hiding behind the apples and the grapes
I'm the one who left you there in the dark

'Cause I thought I'd be fine without you
But I can't move on if I try to

'Cause I guess I could say
You're the one who's getting away
Out of all the games that I play
This one's coming back to bite me
Because I gave you up
Now you're the one who's falling in love
'Cause I never gave you enough
And it's coming back to bite me

I know the route you're running through the park
Sitting on the swings till after dark
What would it feel like to hold you again
Does she give you all that you deserve
If I had a chance to put you first
Would you take me back or say we're just friends

'Cause I thought I'd be fine without you
But I can't move on if I try to

'Cause I guess I could say
You're the one who's getting away
Out of all the games that I play
This one's coming back to bite me
Because I gave you up
Now you're the one who's falling in love
'Cause I never gave you enough
And it's coming back to bite me

And baby it hurts (hurts, hurts, hurts)
Love is the worst (hurts, hurts, hurts)
Baby it hurts, hurts, hurts
It hurts

And the dawn is breaking on me now
And I still pray somehow that I'll see you someday
And I will hear you say "darling you're not getting away
Even after all of the pain, I'm still coming back to find you"

Because I gave you up
Now you're the one who's falling in love
'Cause I never gave you enough
And it's coming back to bite me

And baby it hurts (hurts, hurts, hurts)
Love is the worst (hurts, hurts, hurts)
Baby it hurts, hurts, hurts
It hurts
Baby it hurts (hurts, hurts, hurts)
Love is the worst (hurts, hurts, hurts)
Baby it hurts, hurts, hurts
It hurts
