"For Him" lyrics

"For Him"

He's a vampire
He won't show you his teeth until it's too late
You'll be on some mountain highway thinking, "Ain't this great?"
In some sports car with the top down, that's when he'll eat you

Yes, he will eat you
Gobble up your insides till you're see-through
Shake away whatever ground's beneath you
Until life feels like a cage he holds the key to

There's a million reasons you might leave me, I don't have to tell you
A million reasons I can see why you might wanna go
It's fine to leave me
Just please don't leave me for him

He's a parasite
He'll suck up all the air and make it feel like
What's left for you belongs to him, it's not right
And maybe decades down the road, you'll come to realize

He's carbon dioxide
And I promise you, his charms come from the wrong side
Of everything I love, this is my insight
Am I reading this all wrong? Am I the bad guy?

There's a million reasons you might leave me, I don't have to tell you
A million reasons I can see why you might wanna go
It's fine to leave me
Just please don't leave me

A million ways I failed to say whatever needed saying
A million ways I understand, but still, I need to say
It's fine to leave me
Just please don't leave me for him
