Cheap Perfume

The face of my ex-lover, the curve of this road.  
The memories I leave covered unless my eyes are closed. 
Oh I know, I know, I know just where this goes 
Straight to the face of my ex-lover by the curve of this road. 

The words left unspoken so we can play pretend, 
The promises I’ve broken just by lying in your bed. 
Oh I know, I know, I know just how this ends… 
And I’ll hear the words left unspoken so that we could play pretend. 

Oh I need to stop crashing into you like this. 
I should try harder to be something you miss. 
But the sweet thrill of anticipation 
has left me wearing an air of desperation 
like a cheap perfume, mmm 
I may have my reasons, but I have no excuse. 

I put myself back together, you look the other way 
The moonlight's pouring in because we forgot to drop the shades 
Oh I know, I know, I know that I can’t stay 
So I put myself back together while you look the other way. 

Oh I need to stop crashing into you like this. 
I should try harder to be something you miss. 
But the sweet thrill of anticipation 
has left me wearing an air of desperation 
like a cheap perfume, mmm 
I may have my reasons, but I have no excuse. 

I want to say this is the last time, the last time 
My heart can't handle one more lie, one more lie 

Oh I need to stop crashing into you like this. 
I should try harder to be something you miss. 
But the sweet thrill of anticipation 
has left me wearing an air of desperation 
like a cheap perfume, mmm 
I may have my reasons, but I have no excuse.
