[Verse]
Bm
Sacrifice for you is just flirtation
D
And friendship a cold convenience
F
I wonder sometimes what you're made of
G
?Is it rayon or is it dust?
Bm
How you calibrate your intuition?
D
such that it just feeds the kill?
F
and every single night I try to make you come alive
G
?you shove it right back in my face
