it pains me.

Please    just leave it.

I should toss that vanity license plate
Toss that make-up painted face
Box those poems, chocolate cake
Scratch that name on the record player
Please just leave me be
Don't lay that stuff all over me
It crawls all over
All over me
It crawls all over.
All over me. Uh.

Call my name, here I come
Your last ditch lay, will I never learn?
Caramel turn on a dusty apology
It crawls all over me
You turn all over

Chorus:
It pains me
Please just leave it
