lyrics

I’m trying to figure out what you want
When you say those words you gotta really put your foot down
Honey it’s a shame but
There’s nothing I could say that could change it.

If you sit and ask me questions
I would tell you what you want to hear
But I probably would bet you
It wouldn’t make no sense,
There’s nothing I could say that could change it.

Game them out of your life,
List all their letters in one fell swoop
He’s a miserable boy
You’re better off when you’re out of the loop

The heart is aglow
Love is a slowburn sting
And like it or not
We’re all searching for the same thing

Love is a slowburn sting

She can be too pretty if you know what I mean
She’s a people pleaser, she won't entertain
The fake girls, fan girls,
All the girls are phoneys

I’m halfway through the century’s hold
I’m painfully aware of all the plot twists and surprises and lies that we were told like
“Work your fingers to the bone”
I don’t buy it

Game them out of your life
List all their letters in one fell swoop
He’s a miserable child
You’re better off when you’re out of the loop

The heart is aglow
Love is a slowburn sting
And like it or not
We’re all searching for the same thing

Don’t get angry, don’t seek out danger,
Don’t grab the glory, don’t wait for love
Don’t lead the scramble,
Don’t beat another’s drum,
Don’t wait too long to recognise
The person you have become

The heart is aglow
Love is a slowburn sting
And like it or not
We’re all searching for the same thing

Love is a slowburn sting
