[Verse 1]
Were you crushed?
Did I rush you?
[Pre-Chorus]
All my time is yours
My twisted heart is yours
The faithless shit is yours
The shameless fits of love that only smother you for moments
Til I fold them up and leave
All yours
[Chorus]
Oh, you had to ask, didn't you?
Oh, you had to ask, didn't you?
Oh, you had to know
Oh, you had to ask, didn't you?
Oh, you had to ask, didn't you?
Oh, you had to know
[Verse 2]
Show your scars
Not to rush you
[Pre-Chorus]
The hieroglyphic hints in all the toilet scrawl
Guilty little pins
And all the things I never talk about are spilling with the gin
Test how tough you are
All yours
[Chorus]
Oh, you had to ask, didn't you?
Oh, you had to ask, didn't you?
Oh, you had to know
Oh, you had to ask, didn't you?
Oh, you had to ask, didn't you?
Oh, you had to know
Oh, you had to ask, didn't you?
Oh, you had to ask, didn't you?
Oh, you had to know
Oh, you had to ask, didn't you?
Oh, you had to ask, didn't you?
Oh, you had to know
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
