1. Hold on now I'm choking
Give me a second to collect myself
You must be joking, otherwise I'm laughing to myself
Why you here again
Hold on a minute, let me check this out
Your invitation's a fake, must be from a ticket out
I hear you out, you hear me out
I hear you shout, I'm not stepping out
I hear you out, you hear me out
I hear you shout, I'm not stepping out.

[Chorus:]
Let away fairy tales and, little white lies
Everything you exhale
Is attracting flies
And you can go off the rails and you can cry your eyes out
But everything you exhale is attracting flies.

2. Please stay it's your moment
I'll give you all the listening that you need
Don't be a showman
Who needs the drama, who said you had to bleed
I'm excited, come on surprise me
Sweep me off my feet
Oh enlight me, what is this special thing bout you I need
I hear you out, you hear me out
I hear you shout, I'm not stepping out
I hear you out, you hear me out
I hear you shout, I'm not stepping out.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
How'd you think it felt when you stuck the knife in?
You know my heart right and you had me aching
How about a piece of your own medicine
Now you're outside there tryina get in
B a b y why would I care if you want me
B a b y why would I care if you don't
B a b y why would I care if you need me
B a b y why would I care if you don't.

[Chorus]
