Roses

I can fake it through the movies, make it through dinner I can fake a month or two, half of the winter And after one or two drinks, my blood gets thinner That's when you can help me release my inner sinner Oh, and I've become quite the actor Poker face stronger than a jackhammer But honestly inside I'm the one getting driled And I'm so fake now I can't even tell what's real I'm a cold meal, with all the garnishments You're 18 years young smoking Parliaments On the back deck of my apartment Wondering why you flew across the continent Yet it's hotter than the August sun And when you touch your face, I feel the rush But at the end of the day, it's not enough To overcome myself, I trust not in lust, but Roses in a vase on the table I know I don't seem like I'm unstable I'm willing but I am not able To be what you need, dressed up as an angel Roses in a vase on the table I know I don't seem like I'm unstable I'm willing but I am not able To be what you need, dressed up as an angel And here you are again with your halo I'm good enough, yeah, if you say so I'm a ticking time bomb, you're the payload Set to explode when the day go You joke about Las Vegas and drunk weddings But really you don't want the tough sledding I'm the reason your friends do all that rough vetting So you won't regret getting tongued down on my bedding Remember when you called drunk from New Orleans? Said I'm the handsomest face that you'd ever seen? And you were touching yourself, in your dreams? Thinking of me? Baby, that is not what I need See, I've seen it all, been involved with them all Dropped stacks at the mall, then bagged up the dolls Even had 'em buy me phones and not answer their calls It'll end soon enough, the chances aren't null Roses in a vase on the table I know I don't seem like I'm unstable I'm willing but I am not able To be what you need, dressed up as an angel Roses in a vase on the table I know I don't seem like I'm unstable I'm willing but I am not able To be what you need, dressed up as an angel Show me who you really are Leave me beathing very hard I promise I ain't scared of ya We can take this to the Marriott I live my life at baggage claim Pullin' shit off the shelf while you're boarding the plane At this point, I'll barely remember your name While you curse mine, but it's all in the same I know them dudes slide into your DMs all the time You tell me not to worry, but all of it's lies You'd like to grab your passport in the dark of the night Drive to the airport and then hop on a flight It's a slow dull ride when you race to the bottom If you're needing an excuse, honey, I got 'em That library shelve's full and I always stock them I've memorized every line, couldn't tell you where I got them And I keep on reading them again Alpha to Omega, beginning to the end You want a lover, but I can't even be your friend And I've already broken so there's nothing left to bend Roses in a vase on the table I know I don't seem like I'm unstable I'm willing but I am not able To be what you need, dressed up as an angel Roses in a vase on the table I know I don't seem like I'm unstable I'm willing but I am not able To be what you need, dressed up as an angel
