lyrics
I wish that you didn’t look good
I don’t feel ashamed to say it though I probably should
I know how that sounds
But fortitude’s a luxury and luck’s not got much time for me
So I’ll keep it quiet
And dream of starting a forest fire again
I wish that I didn’t like this
I don’t think I took advantage but I probably did
You know what I’m about
But in my defence I’m not that genuine
I don’t profess to be a gentleman
It’s not rocket science
And when you see what I’ve done you’ll have my head
There’s still a counterfeit in my wallet
I’ve been holding onto it in case
I find myself having trouble sleeping
I’ll take comfort in knowing what to look for in a fake
I wish that you didn’t run off
You don’t think it’s a big deal but it definitely was
Now I know just what you’re like
But in your defence, I guess, I knew the deal
Your recklessness was part of the appeal
So just keep your silence
And I’ll keep using you as my excuse
I’m scared of the sight of myself sometimes
Knowing just what I’d do with hindsight
There must be a way to make a run for it
A clear way that I could see the benefit
Of putting a stop to this synthesised mind
There’s still a counterfeit in my wallet
I’ve been holding onto it in case
I find myself having trouble sleeping
I’ll take comfort in knowing what to look for in a fake
There’s still a narrative on your ribcage
It’s never looked as good as new
So when you catch yourself in the mirror you’re reminded that you used me just as much as I used you
