the crane wives - tongues & teeth lyrics
i’ve grown a mouth so sharp and cruel
it’s all that i can give to you my dear
and when you come in quick to steal a kiss
my t++th will only cut your lips, my dear
and i know that you mean so well
but i am not a vessel for your good intent
i will only break your pretty things
i will only wring you dry of everything
but if you’re fine with that
you can be mine like that
abandon all your stupid dreams
about the girl i could have been, my dear
’cause in the night i know you burn with feelings
i cannot return, my dear
oh, my dear
you gotta know that this won’t last
desperation will erase the fact
i’m keeping all
of the answers in my cigarette box
yeah, the answer’s in the second before the other shoe drops
and if you’re blind to that
i am fine with that
oh, i will ruin you
oh, i will ruin you
it’s a habit, i can’t help it
i know that you mean so well
but i am not a vessel for your good intent
i will only break your pretty things
i will only wring you dry of everything
and if you’re fine with that
if you’re fine with that
i will poison all your happy thoughts
i love you like the ashes in my cigarette box
and if you’re fine with that
you can be mine
if you’re fine with that
you can be mine
ho ho ho
ho ho ho
ha
