You're aiming to break my heart, flashing a smile like that
Trashed and traded up, past lives and a couple posthumous loves
It's just my luck
Cuz you ain't in the market for the affections that I profess
No dice, try as I might
Can't find nothing about you I despise
But I'm gonna keep trying
I can see it in your posture, I feel it in my gut
Your silence speaks confusion, but I want you oh so much
I swear I can't make heads or tails of your temperament
Words minced, bait and switch, high heels clicking and a barbed lie on your lips
Just tell me off
Cuz I am not content to be your tagalong, fuck-up dunce
Play tough, called your bluff
Godless girl who's accountable to no one
Can you even feel love?
Black stampede's gonna shake my sleep tonight
A musket muzzle and a barroom tussle's gonna set my mind right
Black stampede's gonna shake my sleep tonight
Mercy me, I'm like a tumbleweed skipping aimless through the wild
If I'm a nightowl, then you're my meadowlark
And if I've got a clean conscience, then you've got the black mark
