Things You Can’t Take Back Lyrics by The Effens

Eventually

2021

So polite, wonder where you'll sleep tonight
Covering, holding tight, is there something that you'd like?
Sitting on handlebars, as we terrify the cars
Chewing hair, he's so cute it isn't fair
Wish I would, don't you dare, not myself when you're not here
Promises fill the gaps, don't say things you can't take back
Unkind, my shattering eyes
Don't speak, so closely next time
Gun shy whatever you'd like
Unforgiven dear other
Staggering, pull the zipper to the skin
Unconvinced, by the sting are you changing everything?
Pull apart every thought, I don't think it's going to stop
No not yet, I've found something to protect
Tell the truth, don't say that, wish we'd never even met
Promises fill the cracks, don't say things you can't take back
Unkind, my shattering eyes
Don't speak so closely next time
Gun shy whatever you'd like
Unforgotten dear other
Unkind, my shattering eyes
Don't speak so loudly next time
Turn tide whenever you'd like
Unforgiven dear other
