[Verse 1]
I put my lip balm on, 'cause I
'Cause I can't live without it
You'd tell me it's a problem
Like I was addicted to ice
Oh why, oh why
Not quite
[Verse 2]
I'm harmlessly dramatic
But you're a whole new ballpark
How'd we miss the toxic waste
Spilling from our body parts
When we held hands, I

[Chorus]
You were always good with facts, so why don't you face 'em?

You were always good with facts, so why don't you face 'em?
Opposites won't attract if you're always complacent
You were always good with anger, so honey, let's get mad
Dry lips were never the only thing holding me
You were always good with facts, so why don't you face 'em?
Opposites won't attract if you're always complacent
You were always good with anger, so honey, let's get mad
Dry lips were never the only thing holding me back
Back, back, back
(Mm, oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Oh, oh
