  • I can't wait to see your brilliant face
    Light up the room around the pillowcase
    She said, can you come over to my LA place
    I got something to tell you and it just can't wait
    When I showed up, you held the door in tears
    Sat on the couch under the chandelier
    You said you're having a baby, and before I could cry
    You're leaving me just when I thought you were mine

    But I don't see your face, taken by the one hearted race
    Home now, don't tell your other man
    I got a hell of a plan

    Failing lights
    Amass one hundred sleepless nights
    And I might be holding on too tight
    But there is a beast in my heart and he won't let you leave alive

    Nightmares
    Don't bother wait for sleep (no)
    Crawl on the ground on both your hands and knees
    Just like a lion and you're the queen of the pride
    And we will feast together 'til the bones are dry

    But I don't see your face (oh no), taken by the one hearted race
    Home now, don't tell your other man
    He's not part of the plan

    Failing lights
    Amass one hundred sleepless nights
    And I might be holding on too tight
    But there is a beast in my heart and he won't let you leave alive

    Do you still love me? I am dying to know
    Or did you forget what we shared?
    Out of sight, out of mind, I was never even there

    Failing lights
    Amass one hundred sleepless nights
    And I might be holding on too tight
    But there is a beast in my heart and he won't let you leave alive

    This is the price you'll pay
    Thoughts in your head that will never leave

    So don't you forget what we had
    It's like I was never even there
