Lyrics

I’ve been known, to always get my way
Even though, that’s never been the case
As we grow, the world has been turned backwards
And our house, it doesn’t feel the same

And you tell me, that you love me more as time passes by
That you’ll never think of anyone again

You paint yourself a saint
A filthy little slave for me
And I’m the one to blame
You’re never ever one

At last, I never understood myself
I have learned, we’ve always been too scared to be alone
I can’t deny, who’s more frozen
When in fact, it’s never hard to grow

And we found friction, in between smoke and midnight roads
Let’s grow tired, as the room a desert glance

You paint yourself a saint
A filthy little slave for me
And I’m the one to blame
You’re never ever one

You paint yourself a saint
A filthy little slave for me
And I’m the one to blame
You’re never ever one

You paint yourself a saint
A filthy little slave for me
And I’m the one to blame
You’re never ever one
