lyrics

Well, I boarded up the windows
But somehow the mosquitos are getting inside
They say I got sweet blood
Grit my teeth and say, "drink up"
And they do, can't fight their nature
Wish I could blame them
But I don't, I can't, I won't

Can't keep any lights on
When the sun goes down, my day's done
I'll lay here and rot
I hear you're keeping busy
I'll never hear you say you miss me
But you do, you probably just forgot
I give you love, you love me not
Bread crumbs ain't enough
I'll say it 'til I'm blue in the face
With any luck, I just might believe it someday

Blow out the citronella
Light the cinnamon vanilla
Yeah, summer is dying
I'll watch you play the hotel
Oh, you think you know me so well,
But you don't, you never did
I blossomed for you ran and hid
So point to the time,
We'll call it a night, right kid?
Scratch every bite and bleach out the blood
Hangin' on tight to the wrong types of love
You say you don't mind, well I've had enough
