  • I thought you knew I had to stay away from you
    I thought you heard, yeah, still you have the power
    You can't be here, how long 'til you disappear?
    Don't wanna be the last one here

    But you give me the sweet talk and it works for me
    And it's the sweet words that pulls me in
    I know I'm the weak one and I won't say no
    You give me a reason, so I never go

    Don't keep me with the kisses
    There's never any there when I need
    It's just that you can always make me feel
    Like I am slipping in way too deep
    And let the shadows hope to hide
    The break of dreaming, dreaming of us
    And if I keep slipping in, just keep up with the talking
    Know that I'll wait for you, I'm not about to go

    But you give me the sweet talk and it works for me
    And it's the sweet words that pulls me in
    I know I'm the weak one and I won't say no
    You give me a reason, so I never go

    So many moments, we waste
    Too many heartbeats away
    So many moments, we waste
    Too many heartbeats away
    But you give me the-
    But you give me the-
    But you give me the-
    But you give me the-

    But you give me the sweet talk and it works for me
    And it's the sweet words that pulls me in
    I know I'm the weak one and I won't say no
    You give me a reason, so I never go

    But you give me the sweet talk and it works for me
    And it's the sweet words that pulls me in
    I know I'm the weak one and I won't say no
    You give me a reason, so I never go
