The Devil Makes Work For Idle Tongues

I'm devoted to being hopeless
but you barely notice
your hands are like knives
and your eyes are like locusts
and I just suppose it's that rumours are potent
the potions of love got me opened and focused

I'm choking back words
conversation is a neck tie
and can I have your heart if you choose to wreck mine?
and this aint the first time I guess it's the second
you have used my love as a weapon

Please don't go down by the river
it makes my beating heart so bitter
I cover my eyes when you're around
I still think that it's so funny
that I give romantics a run for their money
but cover my eyes when you're around

It's like your words are meant for breaking hearts
and mine were made for mending them
