"The Arrangement" lyrics

"The Arrangement"

There are some bones that can't be broken
Try as we might, we can't untie them
Till death do us part, till death do us part
You told me you'd learn this the hard way
Not to get mixed up in strangers' marriages
Now you must lie in this bed you've made

So spare me the news of your connection
How about we talk when you stop drinking?
And when we talk, can we talk without blame?
You said, "How could you be so collected?"
I said, "I'm not angry, I'm disappointed"
And it said that you can't, it said you can't tell anymore

Another swipe left, another swipe right
Another one, 'nother one, 'nother one (Mmm)
Another swipe left, another swipe right
Another one, 'nother one, 'nother one (Mmm)

You said, "You might be the one who has him
But I'm the one that he dreams of"
How'd that make you feel? Hmm?
I know it's not fair of me to ask you
To do the things that I could not do
But do I need to catch you in my lie?

Maybe I was heavy-handed
With my knee on your neck, you couldn't stand it
You couldn't stand it
You couldn't breathe
When you told me that you were in danger
Of breaking the rules of our arrangement
I had to stop, stop
I had to stop

Another swipe left, another swipe right
Another one, 'nother one, 'nother one (We need to stop, mmm)
Another swipe left, another swipe right (Mmm)
Another one, 'nother one, 'nother one

There are some bones that can't be broken
Try as we might, we can't untie them
Till death do us part, till death do us part
You told me you'd learn this the hard way
Not to get mixed up in strangers' marriages
Now you must lie in this filth you made

This filth you made
This filth you made

Maybe I was controlling
Did our love bleed away like a slowed puncture?
Did the love bleed away?
I don't know how it got perverted
But there was a time we wanted the same thing
There was a time we, we, we were as one
This is the way we
This is the way we
Live
