Icing Burns

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

He'll be sorry in the morning

You say he's tender when you're home

But if I was your man

I'd be more than just a cure for being alone

You say you see some good in him

You can't explain

And he's somehow better than

The way that he behaves

[Hook]

But the fact is that in practice

His love grinds you like a stone

And you're wrapped around the axle now

Afraid to let the whole thing go

But you can't drain the sea (can't drain the sea)

And stay afloat (and stay afloat)

Can't take the knot and leave the rope

[Verse 2]

And water, it won't ever run clear

Rinsing your heart out in the sink

Staying, all you'll ever get dear

Is a paler shade of pink

[Hook]

But the fact is that in practice

His love cuts you to the bone

And you're wrapped around the axle now

Afraid the let the whole thing go

But you can't drain the sea (can't drain the sea)

And stay afloat (and stay afloat)

Can't take the knot and leave the rope

[Verse 3]

We've all loved liars

But most have learned

That those who play with fire

Spend their whole lives icing burns

[Outro]

Yeah, icing burns

Icing burns

Yeah, icing burns

Icing burns [x4]
