Lyrics

[Chorus]
I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
Oh, and I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
Oh, and I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
I think I'm losing you
[Verse 1]
Switchblade round my neck, don't get close to me
Ask about your life, still in the nosebleeds?
Laying in your bed, call that intimacy
Wish I could get past the security
Wonder why I wake up living in a made-up
Dream of you and I, together there
Baby, wake the fuck up, time for you to grow up
Don't you know that life is rarely ever fair?
[Chorus]
I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
Oh, and I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
Oh, and I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
[Verse 2]
Tell you how I feel, I keep it real clean
Lock hanging round my neck, you don't get a key
Come a little closer, I'll show you what I mean
Oh, boy, you know it's all for me
Ice cold, baby, I'm ice cold
You're the only one who can make me fold
Ice cold, baby, I'm ice cold
You're the only one who can make me fold
[Chorus]
I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
Oh, and I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
Oh, and I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
[Chorus]
I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
Oh, I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
Oh, I wouldn't ask you to take care of me
[Bridge]
Think I could be all you dreamed
Penthouse apartments, bars, limousines
Think I could make you believe
Be your Tinker Bell bitch, you can make me your queen
[Verse 3]
I wouldn't ask you, baby
I wouldn't ask you, baby
To be the one I love
To be the one I love, I love
[Chorus]
We could be
Ask you
We could be so strong
Ask you
We'll be alright, we'll be alright
We could be so strong
Ask you
We'll be alright, we'll be alright
We could be so strong
Ask you
We'll be alright, we'll be alright
[Verse 4]
Caught me by surprise
Everything I need in my life
I wanna call you mine
Wanna be intertwined
[Chorus]
We could be so strong
Ask you
We'll be alright, we'll be alright
We could be so strong
Ask you
We'll be alright, we'll be alright
We could be so strong
Ask you
We'll be alright, we'll be alright
[Outro]
Feels like I've known you for so long
Without you, I don't feel strong
Feels like I've known you for so long
Without you, I don't feel so strong, yeah
So strong
We could be so strong
