“I grew up around a narcissistic parent and absorb...
[Verse 1]
Put your camera away
Sick as a dog so we medicate
Give your wheels to me, I'll be there any day
Feels like I've been here before
Seen some new faces, seen some old ones
Don't you fuck with me 'cause I'm getting old
[Pre-Chorus]
When one heart is hurt, the other will answer (hey)
Find itself in pieces but held together
[Chorus]
I know that you will call me if you're lonely
You will call me if you're lonely
[Verse 2]
Don't wanna start a war
It's not who we are, it's what we've done before
Lay on the bed like lovers
[Pre-Chorus]
When one heart is hurt, the other will answer
Find itself in pieces but held together
Save your money 'til you get the trigger
Pay our debts together because we're lovers
[Chorus]
Oh, I know that you will call me if you're lonely
You will call me if you're lonely
You will call me if you're lonely
You will call me if you're lonely
You will
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
When one heart is hurt, the other will answer
Find itself in pieces but held together
You and me, we're never gonna be winners
We'll pay our debts together because we're lovers
[Chorus]
Oh, I know you will call me if you're lonely
You will call me if you're lonely
You will call me if you're lonely
You will call me if you're lonely
