Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Slow is the memory
I can picture her standing right in front of me
Said that I'm behaving badly
Kinda driving her crazy
I know she wants me
[Verse 2]
I remember everything
Her sweat, it tastes like sugar cane
Sit on top of me, yelling out my fucking name
Until I'm empty
I know she wants me
[Chorus]
But I have already tried to explain myself
It's not that I love someone else
But I can't bear to listen to you cry
I'm sick of all these wasted years
Drown in someone else's tears
You let me down, now I'm hanging you out to dry
[Verse 3]
And I'll see you when I get back
Maybe we can get ourselves back on the right track
You touch me there because you know how much I like that
I think that we both need to relax
You know you want me
[Verse 4]
All the time and everywhere
A happy surface, but the underbelly isn't there
And the worst thing is that I don't even really care
And the emptiness is too much to bear
[Chorus]
But I have already tried to explain myself
It's not that I love someone else
But I can't bear to listen to you cry
I'm sick of all these wasted years
Drown in someone else's tears
You let me down, now I'm hanging you out to dry
[Bridge]
'Cause sometimes I don't know what to do
I'm standing, standing right in front of you
And pray our pain subsides
Can't bear the stare of your teary eyes
I know you feel like it's hard to stay
In fact you may just wanna run away
Now all that I can really say is
Baby, oh
Deep down you know that
[Chorus]
I have already tried to explain myself
It's not that I love someone else
But I can't bear to listen to you cry
Sick of all these wasted years
I drown in someone else's tears
You let me down, now I'm hanging you out to dry
I have already tried to explain myself
It's not that I love someone else
But I can't bear to listen to you cry
I'm sick of all these wasted years
I drown in someone else's tears
You let me down, now I'm hanging you out to dry
