Second Nature

You said, "Baby, let's go out with a bang"

And then you took a double shot and used my lips as a chase

You said, "Maybe we can make some mistakes

I got a pack of cigarettes that we could smoke to the grave"

Oh, I hate that I let you get away

With everything that's gonna hurt you and hurt me all the same

But it's late and we just missed the last train

And you know I could never leave you with that look on your face

There I go tryna save ya

You do your worst, I take the hurt, it's second nature

I know I need to let you leave, stop trying to control these things

I shouldn't be your savior

It's just my second nature

I've been sleeping with a loaded gun

And I've been tryna pull the trigger, but I don't have the guts

So I keep it on the tip of my tongue

Every reason I should go before it swallows me up

Now you're breathing like you wanna die young

Let you break me into pieces while I'm picking you up

And I'd leave if I was better at love

But I am my mother's daughter, it runs in my blood

There I go tryna save ya

You do your worst, I take the hurt, it's second nature (Second nature)

I know I need to let you leave, stop trying to control these things

I shouldn't be your savior

It's just my second nature

You fucked up, yeah, you did it again

I'm the only one who talks you off of the ledge

I said, "I'm done," it's an empty threat

'Cause I know that it'll kill me to leave you for dead

Yeah, you fucked up, yeah, you did it again

I'm the only one who talks you off of the ledge

I said, "I'm done," it's an empty threat

'Cause I know that it'll kill me to leave you for dead

There I go tryna save ya

You do your worst, I take the hurt, it's second nature (Second nature)

I know I need to let you leave, stop trying to control these things

I shouldn't be your savior

It's just my second nature
