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
