lyrics
It’s not a proposal
It’s more like a threat
I will not be burdened with promises
Promises are like lovers
They expect to be kept
But I’m determined to take every advantage I can get away with
You can’t honestly mean you wouldn’t take what was offered you
She wouldn’t take this shit unless she wanted to
I really can’t help that she’s glutton for grief and punishment
I’ve been honest with her, I swear, since the moment we met
You don’t know what we’ve bee going through
We always get what we ask for
She’s a lifer
She’s a contortionist
She’ll take what I give her, and she’ll count herself blessed
Yes, she’ll make a home of a hornet’s nest
I’ll take every inch that she’s willing to give
Once she can’t bend anymore, then she’ll break
but don’t worry she’ll live
It’s more like a threat
I will not be burdened with promises
Promises are like lovers
They expect to be kept
But I’m determined to take every advantage I can get away with
You can’t honestly mean you wouldn’t take what was offered you
She wouldn’t take this shit unless she wanted to
I really can’t help that she’s glutton for grief and punishment
I’ve been honest with her, I swear, since the moment we met
You don’t know what we’ve bee going through
We always get what we ask for
She’s a lifer
She’s a contortionist
She’ll take what I give her, and she’ll count herself blessed
Yes, she’ll make a home of a hornet’s nest
I’ll take every inch that she’s willing to give
Once she can’t bend anymore, then she’ll break
but don’t worry she’ll live
