You loved the thrill in my indifference

The way I never asked to stay

You called it love, it was just instinct for me

to let you give yourself away

I played it cool, you played it desperate

You held your breath, I held control

You wanted more, I gave you almost

Just enough to keep you close

I pulled you under, slow and sweet

Made you crawl, made you believe

You gave your heart to the heartless

And baby, that was me

And baby, that was me

(And baby, that was me)

You thought I’d come around, didn’t you?

Begged for love, then pulled away

Tried to run but never made it —

Every step just circled me

I think you love the pain,

I think you call it intimacy

ache for hands that never held you

Just want the slap to know it’s real

I never lied, I just let you believe

That soft could survive inside someone like me

I pulled you under, slow and sweet

Made you crawl, made you believe

You gave your heart to the heartless

And baby, that was me

And baby, that was me

And baby, that was me

And baby, that was me

And baby, that was me
