"ALICE" lyrics

"ALICE"

I got sick, then you got sicker
We swapped spit, shared beds and secrets
Rotting our teeth, got clean then bitter
In some kind of way, we were in it together

Kissing my neck with your dagger in back
You got thinner than me, and I hate you for that
Seeing you again makes me want it all back
Hunger was all I was ever any good at, but

If I invite you in, then I've made my bed
I am the girl that has to lie in it
If I take you back, then I lose my friends
My glass hips will shatter under plastic skin

Take me away from this madness
Loving you was all that I had, but
Alice, we were dancing with death
I think about you often, but I don't want you back
And we can't be friends, but I wish you the best
We can't be friends, but I wish you the best

Alice, I think sometimes you're my mirror
You show me all I hate in my own image
I hear your voice, you call me for dinner
I'm too tired tonight to fight over who's sicker

If I invite you in, then I've made my bed
I am the girl that has to lie in it
If I take you back, then I lose my head
My glass hips will shatter under plastic skin
I swore back then to my mother and friends
I was gonna quit, and I would not look back again
But you pull me in like the hunger with a drink
And you know damn well that I cannot resist

Take me away from this madness
Loving you was all that I had, but
Alice, we were dancing with death
I think about you often, but I don't want you back
Take me away from this casket
I'm slipping through the cracks in our mattress
Alice, you were all that I had
I think about you often, but I don't want you back
And we can't be friends, but I wish you the best

Love is not enough to save you now
Love is not enough to save you now
Love is not enough to save you now
Love is not enough to save you now
Love is not enough to save you now
Love is not enough to save you now
Love is not enough to save you now
Love is not enough to save you now

Take me away from this madness
Loving you was all that I had, but
Alice, we were dancing with death
I think about you often, but I don't want you back
Take me away from this casket
I'm slipping through the cracks in our mattress
Alice, you were all that I had
I think about you often, but I don't want you back

I think about you often, but I don't want you back
I think about you often, but I don't want you back
I think about you often, but I don't want you back
