VERSE
Slow burn, quick hurt, I guess that it worked
We climbed through the trenches but you left me in the dirt
I'm at your place, arms braced, no match against your strength
You kissed me like a boy who's a fraction of your age
Where was my first mistake
I lost the game before I played
Did you feel like I made you wait
Cuz I was not the kind to stray
Call the night, call it quits, was that my punishment
Darling know I've wanted you, but I don't want you like this

CHORUS
But if I stay quiet, and I don't ask why
You keep trying to tell me 2 and 2 comes out to 5
Would your sleeping dogs just keep on lying
But I can hear the clock tell me I'm running out of time with you

VERSE
c wandering mind, your wounded pride, another stupid fight
I told you from the start I'm not a woman of the night
Still I try again to make amends, as if the fault was mine
Climb back into bed and yet you barely tell me ‘hi'
Till the credits roll, you take the queue
Remember that I'm in the room
cnd suddenly you're sickly sweet
cnd suddenly I still feel cheap
I wanna leave, I want to scream, is this my punishment
Darling know I've wanted you, but I don't want you like this

CHORUS
But if I stay quiet, and I don't ask why
You keep trying to tell me 2 and 2 comes out to 5
Would your sleeping dogs just keep on lying
But I can hear the clock tell me I'm running out of time with you

BRIDGE
The doors closed, your face fell
I tiptoe round eggshells
Tell me what I get tonight
Your hunger or your lifeless eyes
I listen to you preach
But I've glimpsed up your sleeve
cnd I don't want to stick around
To find out where you bottom out


CHORUS
But if I stay quiet, and I don't ask why
You keep trying to tell me 2 and 2 comes out to 5
Would your sleeping dogs just keep on lying
But I can hear the clock tell me I'm running out of time
Oh if I stay quiet, and I don't ask why
You keep trying to tell me 2 and 2 comes out to 5
Would your sleeping dogs just keep on lying
But I can hear the clock tell me I'm running out of time with you

I'm running out of time with you
I'm running out of time with you
Till I'm running for my life from you
