Reptile

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You're a youthful mess In a truthful time Could put up with this With a younger mind With a younger mind You lit the candle, but you took my spark It was hard to handle when it fell apart It fell apart Yah, you were taking your time Making a mess of mind The craziest part of me was you Yeah, you were messin' my mind You took my hand and didn't breathe a word The sound of what you want is all you heard You thought I'd carry you You thought I'd carry you [Pre-Chorus] When you're heavy When you're heavy When you're heavy When you're heavy [Chorus 1] (Ohhh) No we're not animals Not just next of kin (Ohhh) We are reptiles Because we shed our skin (Ohhh) You thought that I needed you Because I let you in (Ohhh) I love like a reptile Yeah, I shed my skin [Verse 2] You fixed to swindle Right from the start You tried to change me It broke my heart Broke my heart I can strip the feeling from every bone I can start the healing before you know Before you know Yeah, you were taking your time Making a mess of my mind The craziest part of me was you Yeah, you were messin' my mind It felt like a whisper but it shook my head Some words are better spoke than left unsaid Than left unsaid [Pre-Chorus] When you're heavy When you're heavy When you're heavy When you're heavy [Chorus 2] (Ohhh) No we're not animals Not just next of kin (Ohhh) We are reptiles Because we shed our skin (Ohhh) You thought that I needed you Because I let you in (Ohhh) I love like a reptile Yeah I shed my skin (Ohhh) (You thought I needed you) No we're not animals (You thought I needed you) Not just next of kin (Ohhh) We are reptiles Because we shed our skin (Ohhh) (You thought I needed you) You thought that I needed you (You thought I needed you) Because I let you in (Ohhh) I love like a reptile Yeah, I shed my skin
