See, the thing about these days

Is you meet someone, they think they know who you are

Give the popular opinion

Then you tear it up in the back of the vintage store

And they hurt you, they desert you in apathetic intervals

See, the thing about these days is I need someone

Someone who reminds me of

A sweet heroine

Pulsin' through my veins like it ain't a sin

Thinkin' 'bout buyin' you a diamond ring

But I won't fall in love

Sweet heroine

I got you in my throat like you're medicine

I say to myself, "I'm in control of it"

But I won't fall in love

Okay, see the thing about these days

Is I really need to fuckin' call up my mum

Saw my father cry one time

And I must admit, it really twisted me up

And it hurts you and it burns you

Learnin' everything ain't what it seems

That's the thing about these days

I need something to sew me up by the seams again

Like sweet heroine

Pulsin' through my veins like it ain't a sin

Thinkin' 'bout buyin' you a diamond ring

But I won't fall in love

Sweet heroine

I got you in my throat like you're medicine

I say to myself, "I'm in control of it"

But I won't fall in love

Yeah, sweet heroine

Pulsin' through my veins like it ain't a sin

Thinkin' 'bout buyin' you a diamond ring

But I won't fall in love

Sweet heroine

I got you in my throat like you're medicine

I say to myself, "I'm in control of it"

But I won't fall in love
