"Taboo" lyrics

"Taboo"

I hope I'm not taboo in your house
Hope I'm not something you're scared to talk about
Hope I'm not your mom or your nic addiction
Hope I'm not money or sex or religion
Hope that our love's not a wreck you ignore on the news
Fine, I hope I'm a little taboo

If I'm a hard conversation
At least I'm still on your tongue
If I only come up when you're faded
At least you're sorry when you're drunk
They all look at you, yeah, nobody moves
My name gets dropped while you're still in the room
What can you do, I'm not easy to lose
Still a little taboo, a little taboo

I hope I'm not taboo with your friends
Hope I don't haunt silences where your sentences end
Hope I'm not a ghost you never acknowledge
Hope I'm not what you said to Emma in college
Hope that our love's not the end of a very short fuse
Fine, I hope I'm a little

If I'm a hard conversation
At least I'm still on your tongue
If I only come up when you're faded
At least you're sorry when you're drunk
They all look at you, yeah, nobody moves
My name gets dropped while you're still in the room
What can you do, I'm not easy to lose
Still a little taboo, a little taboo
A little taboo

Know I must be taboo with your girl
She's asking and you're getting quiet so she fears the worst
Worried you'll miss me, I'll come back again
But baby, you hated me even when I was your lover
That's why she's the one who has you
But somehow I'm still the taboo
