you didn't have to bleed me dry

[Verse 1]
I've always been quick to anger
And I've always been highly strung
But people my age are still character building
Just call it being young and dumb

[Verse 2]
I've always had faith in others
And I've arguably had too much
'Cause I wasn't listening the time when you warned me
Distracted by your magic touch

[Tag 1]
You nodded your head, and promised your best
But you didn't feel the need to try
And I would've gotten over you breaking my heart
But you didn't have to bleed me dry

[Chorus]
And girl you didn't have to do me dirty
'Cause you told me you would never hurt me
You were hoping I would never find out
In a city where no-one ever shuts his mouth
And we don't need another conversation
Don't need to know the reason why
And I would've gotten over you breaking my heart...
But you didn't have to bleed me dry

[Verse 3]
I spent half the time apologising
And half the time I didn't know what I'd done
You were making a mockery of all of my values
But I didn't have the guts to run]

[Tag 2]
I'll never recover
And I hope any subsequent lovers never ask me why
'Cause I would've gotten over you breaking my heart
But you didn't have to bleed me dry

[Solo]

[Chorus]
And girl you didn't have to do me dirty
'Cause you told me you would never hurt me
You were hoping I would never find out
In a city where no-one ever shuts his mouth
And we don't need another conversation
Don't need to know the reason why
And I would've gotten over you breaking my heart...
But you didn't have to bleed me dry
