Blood Honey sees Soccer Mommy discussing a love who only wants her now that she is leaving. With playful, jaunty guitar, she compares the lover to someone she has been forced to kill, similar to her later “Your Dog” music video.
Oh, my sweetie
Did you think my love would leave me
So strong that it was palpable?
But feeling can be fallible
Just look at where it leads me
Oh, my baby
Did you have to call me crazy
Just for thinking I was comfortable?
You wanted me to lose control
Just look at what you've done to me
Because it was you that left me on the line
And now it's me that has to rob you blind
And take the light out of your eyes
But kiss me one last time
Before we say goodbye
Because I don't wanna play like that
You know you had your chance to love me back
And you took your time
Oh, my honey
Don't you find it kind of funny
That I put my heart out on the line?
And now it's yours against the knife
Your blood as sweet as honey
Oh, my baby
Did you have to call me crazy?
Now it's you whose body's on the ground
It's you whose chest can barely pound
Just look at what you've made me
Because it was you that left me on the line
And now it's me that has to rob you blind
And take the light out of your eyes
But kiss me one last time
Before we say goodbye
Because I don't wanna play like that
You know you had your chance to love me back
And you took your time
