Ritt Momney - HEADSTART

She's holding her breath like she's scared of it leaving
She's biting her tongue like I did last night
I said, "Sorry" but she just came closer and whispered
"It hurts pretty bad but it tastes kinda nice"
'Cause Love's got an evil twin sister named Power
Who sticks by her side everywhere that she goes
You give somebody one, then you give them the other
So please understand if I'd rather keep both
'Cause there's no part of me that can't be torn apart
If you're not ready to leave then I'll take the headstart

I've put too much trust in feelings
For too much of my life
I convinced myself to love you
Before you had even tried
And now look where you are
Curled up underneath your sheets
Teary-eyed, waiting for me
To pop up on your phone
It's another night wasted
If you want control, well then
Why don't you take it?

When you don't get what you want you start forgetting what you need
You do what you can to prove that you're still relevant to me
I'm the fish that takes the bait just to be taken for a ride
But if there's one thing that you taught me it's that love is just a fight
Between a bug and a boot so come on, choose your fighter
If you'll be the moth I guess I'll be the lighter

But times change like a compass
I'm turning away from this
There's more fish in the sea
Most of which have not hurt me
You passed by like a comet
You rolled through quick like sonic
Now you want me to stay
A couple hundred miles too late

I didn't say yes
I didn't say no
When you asked if she's mine
But I'm sure that you noticed
The change in my eyes
The change in my manner
The distaste for me that you wave like a banner
Seems to disappear
When you start to play sober
To tell me you're sorry
You've thought it all over

But times change like a compass
I'm turning away from this
There's more fish in the sea
Most of which have not hurt me
You passed by like a comet
You rolled through quick like sonic
Now you want me to stay
A couple hundred miles too late
