  • We've never been into honesty
    So promise me you'll let me know
    When you're lying
    She wants to be an eagle
    When she's high she can fly
    No matter what she was trying

    She'll be the perfect woman
    Then she'll change suddenly
    You wanna cry from the feeling
    She's got a heart of gold but
    Every now and again she'll turn to gray
    And you know she gives me

    An olive then an arrow in the back
    She leaves me breathless
    Then she kicks me while I'm down
    She leaves me hoping
    That my love won't show
    Cause I know she'll give me
    An olive and an arrow

    She doesn't like to worry
    But she's afraid of everything
    That's going on around her
    I'm just another photo
    That made its way on her page
    Somehow I stayed but it won't be long

    An olive (yeah yeah) and an arrow in the back
    She leaves me breathless
    Then she'll kick me while I'm down, oh oh
    She leaves me hoping
    That my love won't show
    Cause I know she'll give me
    An olive and an arrow

    You leave me hopin'
    And prayin' that my love will show
    Cause I know you'll give me
    And olive and an arrow
    Oh yeah yeah
    Oh oh
    Yeah Writer/s: NICHOLAS JONAS
