Chorus
Black tar around my body weight
Dark circles 'round your eyes
You would think that we were made this way, but
It disappeared when you were mine
No way you could get over this
There's no way I could survive
I'll pretend that I got over it, but
My heart is still so full of spite

Verse
It's so late, and it's so dark out
Are you home yet? It's not safe out now
Are you home yet? Can you not let me know?
Did you find somebody else who's gonna fill my role?
You should lay here beneath mе in a forest, near the wood
And try to imaginе all the things that we could
(Should)

Chorus
Black tar around my body weight
Dark circles 'round your eyes
You would think that we were made this way, but
It disappeared when you were mine
No way you could get over this
There's no way I could survive
I'll pretend that I got over it, but
My heart is still so full of spite
