You can't ask of me to trust you I smell your fear My candid heart tells me it's untrue As does your sweat Your darting eyes and lips The aftertaste from your poison kiss You can't ask of me to love you You beg for scraps (scraps, scraps, scraps, scraps, scraps, scraps) If I'm a mess I'll clean up every inch So that there's nothing left For you to make do with Know that I've seen you fend for yourself I'm the easy way out It's a trick Hang your head low, lick your lips You've learned your helplessness I've been your training ground An ever-rushing spring For you to wade around Or a wreck, you wring out Whеn you left in a drought Of things to think about Your tongue hanging out Yeah, I'm angry now Yеah, you got me hot When it's raining down That's when you'll be gone What'll you do now That I'm a mirage I won't let you lie Like a sleeping dog You can't ask of me to trust you I smell your fear My candid heart tells me it's untrue As does your sweat Your darting eyes and lips The aftertaste from your poison kiss You can't ask of me to love you You beg for scraps
