Mess Me Up

Tell me youve been distracted
Just say you heard what's happened
But tell me you cant be what I need
LAs so dramatic
But I'm learning to like the traffic
Its given me time to hum new melodies
Like, youre so ice cold to me
I can feel you in my bloodstream
Killing things
Youre so ice cold to me
I can feel you in my heartbeat
My heartbeat
So if you gonna mess me up, dont do it slowly
And if you gonna lead me on then act like you know me
And if you gonna get me addicted, you have my permission
I think I know how these things go
If you gonna mess me up, dont do it slowly
And tell me youre busy, youre working
And tell me a fire is burning
And tell me you can't be what I need
(You can't be what I need)
The citys so dramatic
But I'm getting much better at acting
Weve got no time to think of memories
Like, girl youre so ice cold to me
I can feel you in my bloodstream
Killing things
Youre so ice cold to me
I can feel you in my heartbeat
My heartbeat
Between the empty sex and cigarettes
I think of you between the breaths
I wanna know what's happening
I wanna know why the phone wont ring
So if you gonna mess me up, dont do it slowly
If you gonna lead me on then act like you know me
And if you gonna get me addicted, you have my permission
I think I know how these things go
If you gonna mess me up, dont do it slowly
Keep on messing me, messing me up, oh-oh
You keep on messing me, messing me up, oh-oh
Keep on messing me, messing me up
Between the empty sex and cigarettes
Keep on messing me, messing me up
I think of you between the breaths
If you gonna get me addicted, you have my permission
I think I know how these things go
If you gonna mess me up, dont do it slow
Yeah, if you gonna mess me up, dont do it slow
