[Verse 1]
We were poisonous teens, pissing behind trees
We stayed home, tending to our jealousy
In your house by the sea, it's never too late
You can make the same mistake with me
[Chorus]
I wanna love, I can't refuse
But I don't cry as much as I used to
They tell me I should speak my truth
But I don't know how much I should tell you
[Verse 2]
You keep bringing up a terrible mother
I think you mean it as a compliment
You won't get a word out of me, I've been here all these years
Waiting to be heard
[Chorus]
I wanna love, I can't refuse
But I don't cry as much as I used to
They tell me I should speak my truth
But I don't know how much I can tell you
[Bridge]
It's a long time
For a half-life
It's a long time
For a half-life
[Chorus]
I wanna love, I can't refuse
But I don't cry as much as I used to
(I don't cry as much as I used to, I don't cry as much as I need to)
They tell me I should speak my truth
But I don't know how much I can tell you
(I don't cry as much as I used to, I don't cry as much as I need to)
But now you're in the bathroom, she's upset
It sounds like something that I said
(I don't cry as much as I used to, I don't cry as much as I need to)
I'm trying, but I'm out of practice
We both go home in separate taxis
(I don't cry as much as I used to, I don't cry as much as I need to)
[Outro]
It's a long time
For a half-life
