My hands and hair smell of smoke My tongue of old black lust and jokes Oh, no That have been passed through liars Lips on to this old weathered parchment That has been torn to shreds That had stated I was there for everything That you needed me to, to hold on I know I didn't say enough But I know you can't go forcing love I know I shouldn't call you up 'Cause I'd look so desperate for your love, love Got caught on calloused heels Barefoot, undressed and such a mess Unprepared for the next event You said you had to go What happened to the boy you used to know? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no But I stated I was there for everything That you needed me for, just hold on Sick of how I tiptoe through problems Lookin' for a way out and around them I know I didn't say enough But I know you can't go forcing love I know I shouldn't call you up 'Cause I'd look so desperate for your love, love I broke someone's heart Too bad that it happened to be my own Come home, I can promise a better man We can push things start Start fresh, introduce ourselves again And mend all these aching battle scars I know I didn't say enough But who says you can't go forcing love, love? I know I didn't say enough But who says you can't go forcing love? I know I shouldn't call you up 'Cause I'd look so desperate for your love, love
