"Taurus" lyrics

"Taurus"

Called me to say wait
Don't get on the train
With one foot halfway on
I was way too late

Stepped off to pout the whole way home
Like that meant the moment hadn't already gone
Like I'll just work twice as hard
So I won't be alone

Called to air out my wounded heart
Like that meant the fire hadn't already started
Won't you please accept this love
I was hurting
Why the hell'd I tell you
You deserved it
You deserved it
I felt worthless
Why the hell'd I spin you round in circles

If I knew better at the time
I'd have got it right
Wish I could just blame it on your star sign
Wish I could just blame it on your star sign

Stayed up half the night
Begging for a fight
Where You'd get way too quiet
Then tell me that I'm right

Spent a few hours in a pitiful place
Like that meant that you'd come back to stay
Like id be fully vindicated
If I could only wait

I just wanted to heal my wounded heart
Like that meant the fire hadn't already started
Won't you please accept this love?

I was hurting
Why the hell'd I tell you
You deserved it

You deserved it I felt worthless
Why the hell'd I spin you round in circles

If I knew better at the time
I'd have got it right
Wish I could just blame it on your star sign
Wish I could just blame it on your star sign

Baby don't you know
We don't date scorpios
Always a little too intense
And painful when they go
