Illicit affairs

[00:05.36] Make sure nobody sees you leave

[00:06.13] Hood over your head, keep your eyes down

[00:06.62] Tell your friends you're out for a run

[00:07.39] You'll be flushed when you return

[00:08.62] Take the road less traveled by

[00:09.12] Tell yourself you can always stop

[00:09.64] What started in beautiful rooms

[00:10.13] Ends with meetings in parking lots

[00:10.64] And that's the thing about illicit affairs

[00:10.89] And clandestine meetings and longing stares

[00:12.15] It's born from just one single glance

[00:12.39] But it dies, and it dies, and it dies

[00:12.64] A million little times

[00:13.64] Leave the perfume on the shelf

[00:14.16] That you picked out just for him

[00:14.65] So you leave no trace behind

[00:14.89] Like you don't even exist

[00:15.39] Take the words for what they are

[00:15.65] A dwindling, mercurial high

[00:16.14] A drug that only worked

[00:16.39] The first few hundred times

[00:18.14] And that's the thing about illicit affairs

[00:18.91] And clandestine meetings and stolen stares

[00:19.41] They show their truth one single time

[00:19.92] But they lie, and they lie, and they lie

[00:20.42] A million little times

[00:21.67] And you wanna scream

[00:23.93] Don't call me "kid"

[00:24.68] Don't call me "baby"

[00:24.93] Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me

[00:25.17] You showed me colors

[00:25.43] You know I can't see with anyone else

[00:26.43] Don't call me "kid"

[00:26.69] Don't call me "baby"

[00:26.94] Look at this idiotic fool that you made me

[00:27.43] You taught me a secret language

[00:27.95] I can't speak with anyone else

[00:29.44] And you know damn well

[00:29.69] For you, I would ruin myself

[00:30.18] A million little times
