[Verse 1]
You're just a thief
Who stole all my moves and used them on me
Ice cream on teeth
Numb like our hands in the autumn
I only wanted
[Chorus]
You to be mine
But I'm sinking my time
Like the boats we watched disappear
So don't go without knowing
That I'll loathe how I'll miss you like mental when you're not here
[Verse 2]
I was naive
Pearls on the dresser
I dreamt up a penthouse love
Heartbreaker jeans
I hate how you met her where you met me
I bet she was a prom queen
[Chorus]
But I won't be unkind
I'm glad that you're fine
Like the couples we watched from the pier
So you'll go
I'll skim a stone
And hope to hell I won't miss you like mental now you're not here
[Bridge]
Hands in my pockets
Breathe in the sea
Doctor, give me a cure
So that next time I see oceans and sunsets
It won't drag back the nights when I texted my secrets to a thief who changed his mind
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Outro]
Do you write her songs?
An ode to a prom queen who puts hearts, instead of dots, above her i's
I hate that
But you've chosen her
So I'll bin my pearls
Avoid oceans and heartbreaker sunsets until I'm alright
