Love Me Like a Warning

Hey… you got that innocent face again. Yeah, I know that one. You walk in late like nothing went down, sweet little smile, turning trouble around. Say, “Baby, chill, you're making a scene,” while your fingerprints are all over me. You kiss like sorry, talk like a saint, throw me a flower, cover the stain. I know your tricks, I know your tells— still when you call, I pick up… hell. You say it's love, then disappear again. You call it us— I call it déjà vu, my friend. So love me like a warning, kiss me like you're leaving tonight. Tell me that you're sorry with that beautiful lie in your eyes. Love me like a warning, don't dress the damage up in gold. If you're gonna break me, darling, at least don't act like you don't know. Oh-oh… you know. Yeah, baby, you know. Don't give me that halo. You keep your promises under the bed, next to the letters you wish you'd never read. One foot outside, one hand on my waist, damn, you make bad decisions taste great. Your friends say, “Man, just let that go.” Easy to preach when it ain't your show. I got enough sense to walk away— just not enough when you say my name. You call it fate, I call it trouble dressed nice. You roll the dice— then ask me why I'm thinking twice. So love me like a warning, kiss me like you're leaving tonight. Tell me that you're sorry with that beautiful lie in your eyes. Love me like a warning, don't dress the damage up in gold. If you're gonna break me, darling, at least don't act like you don't know. Maybe I'm a fool, maybe you're a habit. Maybe every time I lose you I reach right back and grab it. But don't call pain devotion, don't call leaving “being free.” If you want another victim— baby… don't make it me. Love me like a warning, kiss me like you're leaving tonight. Don't tell me you're sorry— just tell me the truth for once in your life. Love me like a warning, no more glitter on the blow. If you're gonna break me, darling… …at least admit you know. Yeah… you know.
