"MACHINE GHOST" lyrics

I didn't want us to fuck, I wanted us to make love
I didn't want the cups on my bedside table stacking up
'Cause I said I would get it together
But I don't think I'll be ready to ever let it go
Old habits die hard and I'm trying to sleep the damage off

It hurts to stand, it hurts to stand
It hurts to stand, it hurts to stand
It hurts to stand, it hurts to stand
It hurts to stand, it hurts to stand

Lights come on, there's nobody home
And all my love pushed my back against the wall
Can someone tell god I should be feeling this more?
I can't love you like I am supposed to
Baby, you're the machine and I'm the ghost

And I didn't want us to fuck, I wanted us to make love
You never learnt the difference, I want better for the both of us
Oh, this guilt is getting harder to deal with when I sober up
Ecstasy on LED floors, trying to be someone, more than just a daughter
More than just a body you can watch and then get bored of
More than just a room of people talking
'Cause everything starts hurting when I see the world in colour
And I wanna turn it off but

Lights come on and there's nobody home
And all my love pushed my back against the wall
Can someone tell god I should be feeling this more?
Oh, I'm not at the party and I'm not in my body
You're the machine and I'm the ghost
You're the machine and I'm the ghost
You're the machine, baby, I'm the ghost
You're the machine, baby, I'm the ghost
You're the machine and I'm the ghost

It hurts to stand, it hurts to stand
It hurts to stand, it hurts to stand
It hurts to stand, it hurts to stand
It hurts to stand, it hurts to stand

It hurts to stand, it hurts to stand
It hurts to stand, it hurts to stand
