Conor James – Damn Yankees Lyrics

 

Damn Yankees Lyrics by Conor James

 

Connecting all the dots now
These silly games you play
Fall far below me

The feeling sits and it rots now
That the only thing keeping me around
Is that I I let you get to know me

I wanna say I’m sorry
But I won’t cause you expect me to
I wanna say I’m sorry
But I’m trying not to lie to you

I wanted your love and I wanted it bad
Gave you myself, now why did I do that
Accepted your help, now why did that I do that
Shut out everyone else, now why did I do that

Made me feel scared to out on my own
When I called I always hoped you wouldn’t pick up the phone
You’re the meanest motherfucker that I’ve ever known
You’re the meanest motherfucker that I’ve ever known

You make yourself so hard to love, child (lovechild, lovechild)
And you make such a stink when you get angry (like a hawk)
Like a hawk, you stay watching from above child (you stay watchin’)
Keeping score on me, like you did that day
When you took me to the yankees

I wanna say I’m sorry but I’m trying not to lie to you
I wanna say I’m sorry but I won’t because I always do

I wanted your love and I wanted it bad
Gave you myself, now why did I do that
Accepted your help, now why did that I do that
Shut out everyone else, now why did I do that

Made me feel scared to out on my own
When I called I always hoped you wouldn’t pick up the phone
You’re the meanest motherfucker that I’ve ever known
You’re the meanest motherfucker that I’ve ever known

Same old thing
Again and again
But I promise I won’t stick around next time the shit hits the fan

Descending (descending)
Avalanche (avalanche)
But you can’t blame the snow when your voice is why the whole thing began

Ahh
Ahh

I wanted your love and I wanted it bad
Gave you myself, now why did I do that
Accepted your help, now why did that I do that
Shut out everyone else, now why did I do that

Made me feel scared to out on my own
When I called I always hoped you wouldn’t pick up the phone
You’re the meanest motherfucker that I’ve ever known
You’re the meanest motherfucker that I’ve ever known
