Don't you know I'm no good for you?

Tore my shirt to stop you bleedin'

Quiet when I'm comin' home and I'm on my own

I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that

Don't you know too much already?

Call me friend but keep me closer (call me back)

And I'll call you when the party's over

And I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that

Yeah, I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that

But nothin' is better sometimes

Let's just let it go

Let me let you go

Quiet when I'm comin' home and I'm on my own

I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
