80 Degrees

I turn a blind eye on history
You turn our friends into enemies
Tainted every pop song we go crazy about
And of all the things that you didn’t throw
Your fancy gifts were the first to go
Now the charity shops ‘round here all know me by name
Think I’m a saint
I washed my mouth out at 80 degrees
Tried a 100 different remedies
But I couldn’t get the taste out
I never listen anymore
To the singers that you live for
The songs that I once adored
Had to cut my hair and paint the walls
All the things we said we wanted
Don’t want them anymore
I found myself in a pile of books
I dance at parties now I don’t care how it looks
To flirt with strangers
Never feeling danger
Let the room spin
Cause thinking back makes me curl my toes
The way I dressed up, all lace, ribbon and bows
Trying to please you
Oh and everything is so easy now
I washed my mouth out at 80 degrees
Changed my name, went to therapy
But I couldn’t get the taste out
I never listen anymore
To the singers that you live for
The songs that I once adored
Had to cut my hair and paint the walls
All the things we said we wanted
Don’t want them anymore
All the things we said we wanted
Don’t want them anymore
And now I’m mortified from hanging about
I got this heartbeat, baby, trying to get out
And I got more than one good reason to shout
I'm never, ever, ever going back
I never listen anymore
To the singers that you live for
The songs that I once adored
Had to cut my hair and paint the walls
All the things we said we wanted
Don’t want them anymore
All the things we said we wanted
Don’t want them anymore
All the things you think I wanted
Don’t want them anymore
