You Shouldn't Have Said That

You shouldn't have said that 'least not without warning
 I've been such a wreck, always scared that I'm boring
 You swallow my words 'cause they're not that important
 You shouldn't have said that and think I'd ignore it
 You shouldn't have called me, you knew that I'd answer
 My vision is flint and my heart is a hammer
 Before we ignite this, I brace for the fallout
 Too close to the ceiling, I wait for the comedown
 And you shouldn't have called me pretty and think I'd forget it
 My memory's shitty, but God, it's selective
 ♪
 You shouldn't have sent that and think that I'd read it
 Then after a minute forget that I'd seen it
 The spell's gonna break if I start to believe it
 You shouldn't have sent that if you didn't mean it
 St-stutter around you called a speech pathologist
 She said to fuck off and see my psychologist
 Look for distractions, I found them at college
 Just rich kids from Jersey and part-time astrologists
 Still thought about you, just now I know communists
 And you shouldn't have called me pretty and think I'd forget it
 My memory's shitty, but God, it's selective
 ♪
 (Ooh-ooh, you shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't have)
 (Oh, you shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't have)
 (Ah-ah, oh, ooh-ooh, you shouldn't, oh)
 And there's blood in the water
 I'll wait 'til the faucet runs clear
 And you shouldn't have said that
 And think I'd pretend not to hear
 Ooh, baby, there's blood in the water
 I'll wait 'til the faucet runs clear
 Ooh, and you shouldn't have said that
 And think I'd pretend not to hear
 It looms with a promise, this cloud that I'm under
 If quick is the lightning, then sure is the thunder
 The silence between, beating slow like a death march
 But just for a second, it's light 'til it gets dark
