lyrics

Honestly I got no idea what gave me that idea
That I was some kind of hard body, tougher than nails
If they’re asking questions I got nothing to tell
But I got something to sell
Baby what you want?
'Cause we got options
Come around here
We do this often
You already know that I’m a problem
Solve it
Or if you like, I can take you back before the breakdown
When they had me face down
Before the felony, before I poured the gasoline
The BMW was never on a lease
Your parents bought the car and tossed the keys
Back before we took the ride
Before your tail lights faded in the night
Before I took the rag and struck the light
Alright
Heaven knows I was on one
Ok no I was on five so I lied
We were swerving in the lane
Bottle in my lap
Black bandana around my face, I had it wrapped
I was stepping out the car and then I couldn’t take it back
So I threw the cocktail up the middle of the path

But honestly I got no idea what gave me that idea
That I was some kind of hard body, tougher than nails
If they’re asking questions I got nothing to tell
But I got something to sell
Baby what you want?
'Cause we got options
Come around here
We do this often
You already know that I’m a problem
You already know...

Why you acting like you know everything?
There you go acting like you know everything
Living like you’ve been read your last rites
Even in my past life
I was in that fast lane
I can’t seem to act right
You know that it’s on sight
There ain't nothing you could tell me
I’m not buying what you’re selling
If you take it there
There ain’t no telling
It you take it there
There ain’t no telling
I can’t get the molotov to crack
Flames slowly spreading to the grass
Like that and I can never take it back

But honestly
I got no idea
What gave me that idea
That I was some kind of hard body
Tougher than nails
If they’re asking questions
I got nothing to tell
But I got something to sell
Baby what you want?
'Cause we got options
Come around here
We do this often
You already know that I’m a problem
You already know

Honestly, you know what’s on my mind
You already know what’s on my mind

Honest
Promise
Haunted
