"Rent" lyrics
Sliced my hope in two and put it on ice, put it on ice
Your bed and cartoons could have been my life
I found lashes on the DVD case, you said they were mine, said they were mine
Never my style, but I didn't wanna get on your wrong side
You lied like a kid in trouble to me
'Cause you wanted your double for company
But there was someone living in my head
'Til you smuggled her out
You tainted my teens and that's a shame
I still can't watch Spirited Away
Or open my hand
Some people take whatever they want
It's like I'm paying all this rent I can't afford for two
And now, baby, the rent is due and I don't know anything about you
It's like I'm paying all this rent I can't afford for two
And now, baby, the rent is due and I don't know anything about you
Nothing like a real young thing and what it'll do, what it'll do
If you give it your words and nobody else to talk to
Last night I had a dream you text and I could have just cried, oh, I could have cried
'Cause I haven't felt home like that since I had to block you
I'd never try to burn you at the stake
I just need to know I'm your last mistake
The last lost girl who wound up
At the end of your call
I'd have died for you, but here's the twist
I was loving something that didn't exist
Just a mirror of a mirror of a man
Who you once saw
It's like I'm paying all this rent I can't afford for two
And now, baby, the rent is due and I don't know anything about you
It's like I'm paying all this rent I can't afford for two
And now, baby, the rent is due and I don't know anything about you
I don't know anything about you, oh
I don't know anything about
I don't know anything about you, oh
Oh, and if you didn't want me, you could have said
'Stead of messing with my heart and fucking with my head
And saying some no's are better left unsaid
It's like I'm paying all this rent I can't afford for two
And now, baby, the rent is due and I don't know anything about you
It's like I'm paying all this rent I can't afford, afford for two
And now, baby, the rent is due, I don't know anything about you
Your bed and cartoons could have been my life
I found lashes on the DVD case, you said they were mine, said they were mine
Never my style, but I didn't wanna get on your wrong side
You lied like a kid in trouble to me
'Cause you wanted your double for company
But there was someone living in my head
'Til you smuggled her out
You tainted my teens and that's a shame
I still can't watch Spirited Away
Or open my hand
Some people take whatever they want
It's like I'm paying all this rent I can't afford for two
And now, baby, the rent is due and I don't know anything about you
It's like I'm paying all this rent I can't afford for two
And now, baby, the rent is due and I don't know anything about you
Nothing like a real young thing and what it'll do, what it'll do
If you give it your words and nobody else to talk to
Last night I had a dream you text and I could have just cried, oh, I could have cried
'Cause I haven't felt home like that since I had to block you
I'd never try to burn you at the stake
I just need to know I'm your last mistake
The last lost girl who wound up
At the end of your call
I'd have died for you, but here's the twist
I was loving something that didn't exist
Just a mirror of a mirror of a man
Who you once saw
It's like I'm paying all this rent I can't afford for two
And now, baby, the rent is due and I don't know anything about you
It's like I'm paying all this rent I can't afford for two
And now, baby, the rent is due and I don't know anything about you
I don't know anything about you, oh
I don't know anything about
I don't know anything about you, oh
Oh, and if you didn't want me, you could have said
'Stead of messing with my heart and fucking with my head
And saying some no's are better left unsaid
It's like I'm paying all this rent I can't afford for two
And now, baby, the rent is due and I don't know anything about you
It's like I'm paying all this rent I can't afford, afford for two
And now, baby, the rent is due, I don't know anything about you
