lyrics
I'm a mess
We dance until we're broken
Screaming as we pour over ice
Pull me in
Hug me like a father,
I need someone to tell me it's fine
I'm a mess
As you blindfold me and spin me,
Point me to a heart I can break
Oh, I can only be your half-boy
oh, I can only be your half-boy
2am,
coked up in the bathroom
I'll listen to the lies of your mind
We're a mess
Kiss my face but later
He'll run his hand up over your thigh
Oh, I can only be your half-boy
oh, I can only be your half-boy
Break me in the morning light
When the high comes down
And you're alright
Come with me
When the sun crawls up to meet us
Don't let me go alone to a cold bed
I'm a mess
Please can't we stay forever,
a half-boy and a starlet,
hearts full up, abandoned in true joy
Oh, I can only be your half-boy
oh, I can only be your half-boy
Break me in the morning light
When the high comes down
And you're alright
