Why won't you take me out
I am more than willing to leave
I won't wear anything, but my heart on a sleeve
All you wanted is all I need

[Chorus]
Don't talk to me like I'm one of your cynical peers
Talk to me like a lover
You'll wear me out with your subtle defences, my dear
One day you will

Crossed wire and foiled ire is the house that we live in
All so anaesthetised we don't feel the cold begin
No bowing out, the audit is far from unclear
All you wanted is all I need

[Chorus]
Don't talk to me like I'm one of your cynical peers
Talk to me like a lover
You'll wear me out with your subtle defences, my dear
One day you will

Let me open the weir
You'll be calm down here

[Chorus]
Don't talk to me like I'm one of your cynical peers
Talk to me like a lover
You'll wear me out with your subtle defences, my dear
One day you will

[Chorus]
Don't talk to me like I'm one of your cynical peers
Talk to me like a lover
No bowing out now, the audit reads too fucking clear
One day you will
