Burn like morning light against my face

This bruise like cheap perfume will start to fade.

And I could fool myself

To think that the sound of my hurt

Was the sound of my heartbeat



Hard times and hot nights are keeping me wide awake

And big shock, she loves me not.



Say you'll be mine

Think I'm out of time

Out of breath

Cheap wine and cigarettes

Take me back to where I shouldn't be.

Where I shouldn't be



Hard times and hot nights are keeping me wide awake

And big shock, she loves me not

She's here to stay.

And I'll point disaster my way
