Witness - Said The Sunrise lyrics

(Chorus) Aww. Don't make me be What you want me to be Don't make me do What you want me to do (Verse 1) I said "until when", she said "forever" I hope by then that I'll be old enough to know better I tip toed on a pretty little landmine and Read the body language that she wrote between her tanlines But now we find our better judgement at the whim Of the fingers writing cursive on the surface of our skin It's like they're fumbling to unbu*ton the bu*tons But there's something in my stomach that resembles reluctance Because the moment that our tongues begin to speak french I feel like a ghost in another lover's feetprints I need a defense In case she repents Under the pretense that we should probably be friends There's flowers in a wine bottle on her vanity And a wooden crucifix that hangs above her bed She was asleep, I was looking for an exit Cause I know she doesn't love me and I wish we never met (Chorus) Aww. Don't make me be What you want me to be Don't make me do What you want me to do (Verse 2) She was a forty five caliber sweetheart tucked under my chinline And when the casings hit the pavement it reminded me of windchimes It was a thin line, a perforated edge It should have torn apart the moment that we laid in bed Head on my chest, like she's following a metronome She was a poem, like a painting, like a lilac And when she blinked, I think the universe stopped As she traced a constellation through my freckles with an eyelash But, it ain't affection. She called it foreplay It wasn't making love either, it was portrayed With words in poor taste, the kind that strike deep Designed to redefine beautiful as quite cheap There was a bright street light leaking through her window And when the wind blows, it stutters like its tongue tied But so was I We were strangers in the morning So when I said "until when" she should have said "the sunrise" (Chorus) Aww. Don't make me be What you want me to be Don't make me do What you want me to do
