"Love Him I Don't" lyrics

"Love Him I Don't"

I could see a bloodbath coming
Playing checkers as the flat was flooding
I wasn't eating and you still said nothing
Better should've known, should've known better
But I dug my heels in
Got really good at underwater breathing
Guess that was my stubborn season
Better should've known, should've known better

Baby, it's sad, you're bad in the bones
So I just went home

Now it's coming up roses
Kicking up snow
What a long winter
What a bad joke
Shady when we held hands
Everyone else can have him, but I won't

Love him, I don't
Love him, I won't
Love him, I did for a minute
But I'm finished 'cause I've learnt
Loving him hurts
Loving him don't work
So love him, I don't

Met you through my favourite cousin
Lighting cigarettes off an oven
Fell for you and got a bad concussion
Should've better known, should've known better
What a state, what a waste of your twenties
Couple lies, couple times, that's plenty

Oh, you're bad in the bones so I'm just going home
Don't text me

Now it's coming up roses
Kicking up snow
What a long winter
What a bad joke
Shady when we held hands
Everyone else can have him, but I won't

Love him, I don't
Love him, I won't
Love him, I did for a minute
But I'm finished 'cause I've learnt
Loving him hurts
Loving him don't work
So love him, I don't

Oh, love him, I don't
Love him, I won't
Love him, I did for a minute
But I'm finished 'cause I've learnt
Loving him hurts
Loving him don't work
So love him, I don't

Baby, it's sad, you're bad in the bones
So I just went home

Now it's coming up roses
Kicking up snow
What a long winter
What a bad joke
Shady when we held hands
Everyone else can love ya, but I won't

Loving you hurts
And I loved you first
It didn't work out, and I wanted it to work
Loved you I swear
Loving you's not fair
So love you, I don't
