"Naive" lyrics

"Naive"

I tried to sell you lies against your will
You tried to sell naive and that takes skill
And it doesn't make sense
And it doesn't make sense
When you matter to me
Still, I'm trying my best
Yeah, I'm trying my best
But we all have needs

And you're so naive
When you get too close to me
(So naive)
When you get too close
Get too close to me

They'll try to sell a light that isn't real
The videos she posts have sex appeal
You could say it makes sense
You could say it makes sense
If it helps you sleep
Still, I'm trying my best
Yeah, I'm trying my best
But we all have needs

And you're so naive
When you get too close to me
(So naive)
When you get too close
Get too close to me

I tried to sell you lies against your will
You tried to sell naive and that takes skill
And your teeth could cut through me when I was young
Who knew your eyes were all I'd need to bite my tongue?

You were so naive
You were so naive
When you got too close
When you got too close
When you got too close
When you got too close to me
Close to me
