The Gentleman

[Verse 1]
He looked like a gentleman
A rare sight for Los Angeles
And she was young
She put forth her life, her skeletons
But when she asked about his ex-girlfriends
He said they were dumb

[Pre-Chorus]
She said, "why’d you say that?"
And then he got mad

[Chorus]
How do you sleep at night?
Do you sleep with one eye open?
Aren’t you scared of all you’ve broken?
Are you terrified that all the wrong you didn’t mind
Would all come back around sometime?
Will you wakе in the by and by
Or do your ghosts sing you lullabies?

[Verse 2]
She lovеd that photo on his Instagram
Where he looked just like his old man
And that rubbed him wrong
And so she’d slowly start to understand
How he victimized unto what end
And how his hard times were someone else’s fault

[Chorus]
How do you sleep at night?
Do you sleep with one eye open?
Aren’t you scared of all you’ve broken?
Are you terrified that all the wrong you didn’t mind
Would all come back around sometime?
Will you wake in the by and by
Or do your ghosts sing you lullabies?

[Outro]
He looked like a gentleman
A rare sight for Los Angeles
And I was young
