Perfume

[Verse 1] See, the time is right And I should feel a spark tonight All I feel is fear But I will keep it hushed Ooh... [Pre-Chorus 1] Love is a drink from a bitter cup Sip until I sleep, can't get enough But it takes a toll on me And I feel it like a guillotine Yeah, the dissonant harmony When I need a simple melody Like the scent of perfume on the breeze [Chorus] Love is not for me I tell myself until it’s deafening Oh, but it's sweet until it stings The cuts are deep and few and far between [Verse 2] I catch the rush again And I sink into my bones... again My sweet suburban lights Will rescue me, you'll see Ooh... [Pre-Chorus 2] We can run away to the desert Tell me all the ways that you’re not hurt And I'll drown myself in the light From the galaxy there in your eyes Yeah, the dissonant harmony When I need a simple melody Like the scent of perfume on the breeze [Chorus] Love is not for me I tell myself until it's deafening Oh, but it's sweet until it stings The cuts are deep and few and far between [Bridge] I'm in a firefight With my heart tonight Can't take my own advice I am fire and ice I'm in a firefight With my heart tonight It's a tragedy But everyone can see that [Chorus] Love is not for me I tell myself until it’s deafening Oh, but it’s sweet until it stings The cuts are deep and few and far between Oh, love is not for me I tell myself until it's deafening Oh, but it’s sweet until it stings The cuts are deep and few and far between [Outro] I tell myself until it's deafening But I could try again for you and me
