Lyrics…

Verse 1:
I don’t care what I see, you look so empty, your energy’s like ecstasy, I’ll watch you tonight go up in smoke, you don’t know me, but you pull your stool right next to me, honey know I’ve played and lost this game before,
I don’t care what you mean, you’ll start off friendly, but you’ll turn on me eventually, so I’ll turn my back and turn you down before, you make me happy, you’ll hold me higher than I’ll ever be, then I hit the ground as you walk out the door,

Chorus:
Well I don’t need a savior cause my hearts been through the wringer, I think can sense the bringer of another six months sentence locked in,
The hell with all the rain checks and the suicidal drunk texts, I’ll saved myself the head stress, and settle scores long before,
We fall from grace,
I stay away,
Lonely is a question only answered when I mention what you know your gonna be,
I’ll spare myself the long run cause I know you’ll only be another smoking gun that fled the scene,

Verse 2:
And I don’t what care I need, you’re what I don’t need, I think I’d know what’s good for me,  Opening my heart just made me bleed, it happened last time, I stepped right on her landmine, and she stole my way to speak,
I don’t care if you’re sweet, you taste like candy, but cherry cigarettes are still bad for me, when you say you’ll turn my nightmares into dreams, I bet you think so, but a wolf can wear a sheep’s clothes, and kill me as I count on you to fall asleep,

Chorus 2:
I don’t need a savior cause my hearts been through the wringer, I think can sense the bringer of another six months sentence locked in,
The hell with all the rain checks and the suicidal drunk sex, I’ll saved myself the head stress prevent the word wars long before,
We fall from grace,
I stay away,
Lonely is a question only answered when I mention what you know your gonna be,
I’ll spare myself the long run cause I know you’ll only be another smoking gun that fled the scene, 
Smoking gun that fled the scene, smoking gun that fled the scene
