lyrics

I could erase you if you like
I can try to make it better for you
What would you like me to do?

Well you are unstitched, ice pick, broken wrist
Your make up's running and its all my fault again
I can't help but make amends

You only call me when you're bored
You only call me when you're bored

You work sympathy through a phone
Maybe I'm better off alone
Let's keep it simple
You are extraordinary in no-ones head but mine
Maybe I'm better off alone

You only call me when you're bored

He is devotion personified
I can try to make him better for you
What would you like me to do?

Well you are unstitched, ice pick, broken wrist
Your make up's running and its all my fault again
I can't help but make amends

You work sympathy through a phone
Maybe I'm better off alone
Let's keep it simple
You are extraordinary in no-ones head but mine
Maybe I'm better off alone

You only call me when you're bored
You only call me when you're bored
Yeah, you only call me when you're bored

I could erase you if you like
I can try to make it better for you
What would you like me to do?
