Roses

I can fake it through the movies, make it through dinner
I can fake a month or two, half of the winter
And after one or two drinks, my blood gets thinner
That's when you can help me release my inner sinner
Oh, and I've become quite the actor
Poker face stronger than a jackhammer
But honestly inside I'm the one getting driled
And I'm so fake now I can't even tell what's real
I'm a cold meal, with all the garnishments
You're 18 years young smoking Parliaments
On the back deck of my apartment
Wondering why you flew across the continent
Yet it's hotter than the August sun
And when you touch your face, I feel the rush
But at the end of the day, it's not enough
To overcome myself, I trust not in lust, but

Roses in a vase on the table
I know I don't seem like I'm unstable
I'm willing but I am not able
To be what you need, dressed up as an angel
Roses in a vase on the table
I know I don't seem like I'm unstable
I'm willing but I am not able
To be what you need, dressed up as an angel

And here you are again with your halo
I'm good enough, yeah, if you say so
I'm a ticking time bomb, you're the payload
Set to explode when the day go
You joke about Las Vegas and drunk weddings
But really you don't want the tough sledding
I'm the reason your friends do all that rough vetting
So you won't regret getting tongued down on my bedding
Remember when you called drunk from New Orleans?
Said I'm the handsomest face that you'd ever seen?
And you were touching yourself, in your dreams?
Thinking of me? Baby, that is not what I need
See, I've seen it all, been involved with them all
Dropped stacks at the mall, then bagged up the dolls
Even had 'em buy me phones and not answer their calls
It'll end soon enough, the chances aren't null

Roses in a vase on the table
I know I don't seem like I'm unstable
I'm willing but I am not able
To be what you need, dressed up as an angel
Roses in a vase on the table
I know I don't seem like I'm unstable
I'm willing but I am not able
To be what you need, dressed up as an angel

Show me who you really are
Leave me beathing very hard
I promise I ain't scared of ya
We can take this to the Marriott

I live my life at baggage claim
Pullin' shit off the shelf while you're boarding the plane
At this point, I'll barely remember your name
While you curse mine, but it's all in the same
I know them dudes slide into your DMs all the time
You tell me not to worry, but all of it's lies
You'd like to grab your passport in the dark of the night
Drive to the airport and then hop on a flight
It's a slow dull ride when you race to the bottom
If you're needing an excuse, honey, I got 'em
That library shelve's full and I always stock them
I've memorized every line, couldn't tell you where I got them
And I keep on reading them again
Alpha to Omega, beginning to the end
You want a lover, but I can't even be your friend
And I've already broken so there's nothing left to bend

Roses in a vase on the table
I know I don't seem like I'm unstable
I'm willing but I am not able
To be what you need, dressed up as an angel
Roses in a vase on the table
I know I don't seem like I'm unstable
I'm willing but I am not able
To be what you need, dressed up as an angel
