Shady Business

My hands and hair smell of smoke
 My tongue of old, black lust and jokes
 Oh no
 That have been passed through liars
 Lips on to this old, weathered parchment
 That has been torn to shreds
 That had stated
 I was there for everything
 That you needed me to, to hold on
 I know I didn't say enough
 But I know you can't go forcing love
 I know I shouldn't call you up
 'Cause I'd look so desperate for your love
 Got caught on calloused heels
 Barefoot, undressed, and such a mess
 Unprepared for the next event
 You said you had to go
 What happened to the boy you used to know?
 Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
 But I stated
 I was there for everything
 That you needed me for
 Just hold on
 Sick of how I tip-toe through problems
 Looking for a way out
 And around them
 I know I didn't say enough
 But I know you can't go forcing love
 I know I shouldn't call you up
 'Cause I'd look so desperate for your love
 I broke someone's heart
 Too bad that it happened to be my own
 Come home
 I can promise a better man
 We can push things
 Start, start fresh, introduce ourselves again
 And mend all these aching battle scars
 I know I didn't say enough
 But who says you can't go forcing love?
 I know I didn't say enough
 But who says you can't go forcing love?
 I know I shouldn't call you up
 'Cause I'd look so desperate for your love
