Cheap Perfume

from Hearts In Need Of Repair by Sarah Morris

/

lyrics

The face of my ex-lover, the curve of this road.
The memories I leave covered unless my eyes are closed.
Oh I know, I know, I know just where this goes
Straight to the face of my ex-lover by the curve of this road.

The words left unspoken so we can play pretend,
The promises I’ve broken just by lying in your bed.
Oh I know, I know, I know just how this ends…
And I’ll hear the words left unspoken so that we could play pretend.

Oh I need to stop crashing into you like this.
I should try harder to be something you miss.
But the sweet thrill of anticipation
has left me wearing an air of desperation
like a cheap perfume, mmm
I may have my reasons, but I have no excuse.

I put myself back together, you look the other way
The moonlight's pouring in because we forgot to drop the shades
Oh I know, I know, I know that I can’t stay
So I put myself back together while you look the other way.

Oh I need to stop crashing into you like this.
I should try harder to be something you miss.
But the sweet thrill of anticipation
has left me wearing an air of desperation
like a cheap perfume, mmm
I may have my reasons, but I have no excuse.

I want to say this is the last time, the last time
My heart can't handle one more lie, one more lie

Oh I need to stop crashing into you like this.
I should try harder to be something you miss.
But the sweet thrill of anticipation
has left me wearing an air of desperation
like a cheap perfume, mmm
I may have my reasons, but I have no excuse.
