False Pretenses Lyrics

I found out the other day

I found it out the hard way

The way that uses mental knives and ripping off the curtain rods

That I'm not just a woman like I thought

Brought myself in under false pretenses, lied to make me stay

Checked my bags at the door, or rather threw them all away

Burned the bridges that I needed to, I thought it'd be okay

Now the paranoia's building and I've got nowhere to stay, but I'm

Checked out, I'm settling down

Too many facets of my life are sleeping around

And I'm no taste, a killer on my feet

When I'm too high to remember the beat

Well I've been here too long to remember

Has the ice melted yet, are you gonna call me a quitter?

I'm a lightweight, who's light on my toes

Who am I gonna hurt next, nobody knows

Pheromones are fucked up, my scent is changing fast

Give me one more chance to prove I'm not the person from my past

Give me a break, I'm not her anymore, I'm somebody new

If anyone would know, it's me: I know me better than you, well I'm

Riding high the tide of all these new experiences

Bought me a ticket to a place with no coincidences

Burning rubber fast. and I'm taking my time with it

Slow down, slow down

Nah. go faster with it

Checked out, I'm settling down

Too many facets of my life are sleeping around

And I'm no taste, a killer on my feet

When I'm too high to remember the beat

And I've been here too long to remember

Has the ice melted yet, are you gonna call me a quitter?

I'm a lightweight, who's light on my toes

Who am I gonna hurt next, nobody knows

Now listen before I make you

Now I think it's important to clarify

I'm not just going down the route of me/myself/I

I've got a plan to follow, what I feel, what I've always felt

If they can't get on your level, tell 'em all to go to hell

Checked out, I'm settling down

Sometimes the best and better life is sleeping around

And I'm no taste, a killer on my feet

When I'm too high to remember the beat

And I've been here too long to remember

Has the ice melted yet, are you gonna call me a quitter?

I'm a lightweight, who's light on my toes

Who am I gonna hurt next, nobody knows
