lyrics

Never got too close
Brushing shoulders never lips
When I picked up the habit
You were there licking up my spit

Stop me I’m getting tired
Day drunk I’m fried by five
Slow burning I’m boiling
Back away I’m a real live wire

And there's nothing we could do about it
And there's nothing we could do about it
And there's nothing I could do to stop it
And there's nothing that you did to stop it

I know I burned those cigarettes into your arm
But the smell doesn’t linger
In the morning open up the windows
I could only see the holes the holes

Having fun is never easy
When you’re a bitch with a tender heart
All this time we’re getting sunsick
Tryna cover up the scars the scars

I’m an innocent sleeper
Just let me lie all day
Ill eat at you slowly
Tossing and turning till you decay

And I wish that I was sober
And that my hands werent branding irons
Try to keep them in my pockets
Dont let me try to try

I know I burned those cigarettes into your arm
But the smell doesn’t linger
In the morning open up the windows
I could only see the holes the holes

Having fun was never easy
When youre a bitch with a tender heart
All this time we’re getting sunsick
Tryna cover up the scars the scars

You still hide in my bedroom
Under corners all tucked in neat
When everything’s quiet
I can hear you moving in my sheets

And there's nothing we could do about it
And you sink like stone in my gut
And I still eat away at your skin
And you still swim around in my chest
And i still burn the air in your lungs
And there's nothing we could do about it
There's nothing that we did to stop it
There's nothing that we did to stop it
There's nothing that we did to stop it
There's nothing that we did to stop

Tenderheart Bitches Brooklyn, New York

Tenderheart Bitches is the indie rock project of Brooklyn-based composer JL Marlor.
Through her raw, deeply emotional and poetic songwriting, JL centers her lyrics around her personal experiences with heartbreak, coming out, living authentically, and learning to love the messy parts of ourselves. These are songs you can dance, cry, smile, and scream to—songs for hard asses with soft hearts. ... more
