lyrics

You said you'd care for me
You always held me tight,
Every single night.
I crossed the water,
Pulled the skin right off of me.
But I'm still thinking about you babe,
All these month, minutes and weeks

I release the pain you gave to me
I release the people I assumed you to be
The nights when I couldn't speak to you,
They had me wondering

Why did you go?
The world may never know
I find it the worst mistake, letting you know
how many licks it would take
Oooo how many licks that it would take

And? So? Whatever
I miss your touch when I sleep
The space that I keep is deep
Well just look at us now
I guess there's one thing I know
Sometimes people just go

So release the pain I gave to thee
Release the people you assumed me to be
The nights when you couldn't speak to me,
Did they have you wondering?

Why did you go?
The world may never know
I find it the worst mistake letting you know
how many licks it would take

One, it was a nasty thing to do lying to me,
saying you would be true.
Two, that's not the way it's supposed to be.
Lovers they talk whenever they disagree.
Three, I just wanted you happy but sugar, now you're laughing at me.

Why did you go?
The world may never know
I find it the worst mistake, letting you know
how many licks it would take
Oooo how many licks that it would take
