You lie once, I lie twice
Forget your words you know it's wise
Conveniently placed on a bar stool you let out a long sigh
You know where you come from
But you don't know why, so you...
Hold me, 'cause you're not tryna be lonely
Empty, heartless eyes cutting into me
I can see you now, walking like a stray dog
Sleeping next to me, I can feel your heartbeat
Now you're closing in, moving through the grey fog, stray dog
Why'd I let you get so close to me (oh no no)
Why'd I let you get so close to me
A girl you still love moved down to the Deep South just to lose you
Now you spend most of your time on your own drinking vermouth
You say you don't buy into all that community bullshit
So we sit in silence and damn the sunset, while you
Hold me, 'cause you're not tryna be lonely
Empty, heartless eyes cutting into me
I can see you now, walking like a stray dog
Sleeping next to me, I can feel your heartbeat
Now you're closing in, moving through the grey fog, stray dog
Why'd I let you get so close to me (oh no no)
Why'd I let you get so close to me
Hey now lover ask me twice, and I might take you home tonight
Hey now lover tell me once,
And I won't have the strength to fend you off
Hold me, 'cause you're not tryna be lonely
Empty, heartless eyes cutting into me
I can see you now, walking like a stray dog
Sleeping next to me, I can feel your heartbeat
Now you're closing in, moving through the grey fog, stray dog
Why'd I let you get so close to me (oh no no)
Why'd I let you get so close to me
