"He Could Never Love You" lyrics

Mm, mm
Mm-mm, hmm, hmm

He could never love you but, baby, I, baby, I can
Ooh, I can
Would you let me hold you with blood on my, blood on my hands?
On my hands

And I would know all about ghosts
'Cause I buried his body and found my way home
You're the first to know

Did it out of love for you
Nothing ever grows if you
Never wanna face the truth
Hang my head, tears on my boots
He loves to make you nervous
Just a little bit too much
He never asks for much
Just your soul and a midnight touch

And cry, cry, he can't hear your lie, lies
Just to keep you here
You can't outrun fear
And cry, cry, he can't hear you lie, lies
Just to keep you here
You can't outrun fear
Don't I know it, baby?

He could never love you but, baby, I, baby, I can
Ooh, I can
Would you let me hold you with blood on my, blood on my hands?
On my hands?

And I would know all about ghosts
'Cause I buried his body and found my way home
You're the first to know

I was lost in a dark room
She had nothing on
And I came begging with aching hands
She gave me a reason
She gave me a reason to
She gave me a reason
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

He could never love you but, baby, I, baby, I can
Ooh, I can
Would you let me hold you with blood on my, blood on my hands?
On my hands?

And I would know all about ghosts
'Cause I buried his body and found my way home
You're the first to know

My love
Mm, mm
Mm-mm, hmm, hmm
