Lyrics

Warm Body

I'll take a warm body
If I can't have love
Or I'll go out drinking
Till I find the one

The girls got mean
Before fifteen
Their mothers taught em
Everything

But Emily's been telling me
To breathe
Emily's been telling me
To breathe

Only call you when I'm down
Need saving
Everything I touch I break it
Give me something to believe in
Promise that you won't go leaving

Cause you've been getting less convincing
I'm begging you to stop and listen
I'll give you something to believe in
Promise that you won't go leaving

Promise me you won't go leaving

It's almost been a decade
I haven't gotten closure
Paint myself the victim
No one told me it was over

And every time
I step outside
Your there
Back to 13
Your pulling on my hair

Only call you when I'm down
Need saving
Everything I touch I break it
Give me something to believe in
Promise that you won't go leaving

Cause you've been getting less convincing
I'm begging you to stop and listen
I'll give you something to believe in
Promise that you won't go leaving

I don't wanna go back home
(Cause everything, I touch I break it)
I wish I'd let you know
(I'm begging you to stop and listen)
You made me leave
Before I'd grown
(I'll give you something to believe in)
I'm just a girl
I'm all alone
(Just promise me you won't go leaving)

I'll take a warm body
