lyrics

Perfume

Don't really wanna smell your perfume
But I spray a little in the room to hide your leaving
Patience is more than just a virtue
It's what I frame around the thought of you when I'm uneven
Not a word
Don't refer to the distance before your return
Though I'm capable, it's escapable
There's a fragrance to soften the burn
Don't really wanna smell your perfume
But I spray a little in the room to hide your leaving
Patience is more than just a virtue
It's what I frame around the thought of you when I'm uneven
We're absurd
I concur
It makes me wonder why we keep ourselves in anguish
Bring your wound to me
No need to prove to me how long you can live disguising pain
You're not losing me for acting humanly
From now on I'll ask for it by name
Until you're through with me I'm waiting dutifully
I see the reason we don't abandon staring me right in the face when you're standing next to me
But my head hangs so low
When I end up solo
My head gets so low
And it makes me so impatient
Give me a break, girl, I gotta right to mope
Oooh, I get so impatient
When you're away, no, I don't know how to cope
Oooh, I get so impatient
I get afraid then I gotta hide the rope
Oooh, I get so impatient
I live my life inside of an envelope when you're leaving
