Dirty Beat

you’ve tried to cut me down to the bottom of my roots to see how hard i’d fall when you lean into me

you take your time putting up these walls thinking i can climb them every single time you feel that dirty beat

you struggle to believe that the safest place you could be is in a room without me

but you say you need to see the opportunity to leave before you go ahead and close this door

but you can’t say no
you can’t say no

you crave to be saved by a sinner not a saint
and yet you wonder why you’re in this place

you wear your heart on your sleeve
expecting it to be protected by only me

you’re back and forth up and down
every single time you feel that dirty beat

you hide your doubts scream and shout but never ever
let me see what’s inside of you

but you can’t say no
you can’t say no

so ill leave you alone tonight
so ill leave you alone
