lyrics

Everything tastes like licorice
and your hold on my hand is limp and loose
I just wanted something solid,
a piece of you that was entirely mine
Started out an innocent crush, it made me
Feel like I was shiny, fresh and new
You and I were perfect in my mind

But you’re slipping from my grasp
and we’re falling apart
You have this horrible habit
Of breaking my heart

And driving too fast,
and smoking too much,
And saying my affection is never enough
I can’t believe I
Let you push me aside
And let you take what you want from me
I should have known
That you wouldn’t stay
Caught up in the way that you move and the games that you play
And how your lies were sticky sweet
Your favorite person was never me

Your whisper lingers in my ear,
Anticipates you next to me
But even after all is said and done
I feel like I am sleeping alone
A fire fueled by kissing lies,
I could have sworn I tasted her
You’re wearing me thin down to the bone

'Cause you’re slipping from my grasp
and we’re falling apart
You have this horrible habit
Of breaking my heart

And driving too fast,
and smoking too much,
And saying my affection is never enough
I can’t believe I
Let you push me aside
And let you take what you want from me
I should have known
That you wouldn’t stay
Caught up in the way that you move and the games that you play
And how your lies were sticky sweet
Your favorite person was never me

Your favorite person was never me

I was never good enough to be
Little more than your careless remedy
and I should have known it from the start
'Cause you’re breaking my heart

And driving too fast,
and smoking too much,
And saying my affection is never enough
I can’t believe I
Let you push me aside
And let you take what you want from me
I should have known
That you wouldn’t stay
Caught up in the way that you move and the games that you play
And how your lies were sticky sweet
Your favorite person was never me

Looking back on you and me
I can still taste the licorice
