You’d Like Me More

Lyrics

I went to church today, laid down in the pews

I don't trust the Bible; I'm just trying to relate to you

Fear the anchor you tied to your hands

Doing things you hate, I'll do the same so I can understand

Why you wear white

And you have sex with boys you don't like

To hide the mess

You're way too high, hunched over

No one's holding on

To your hair, they just cheer you on

You'd like me more if I didn't care about you

You'd like me more if I didn't care about you

Oh, oh, oh

Bed your guilt; could I please it, too?

Lathered in affection, pay attention

Whilе your angels come to anger, I likе it

They choke me, and it turns me on

The silence, I light it

So easily, you passed it on


Tucked in tight, and I can't fight the walls

Chip at night, I like this cruel comparison

Now mad at my own selfish ways

Sitting down, it's easier to say

You'd like me more if I didn't care about you

You'd like me more if I didn't care about you

(If I, oh, oh, oh)

You'd like me more if I didn't care about you

(If I didn't care)

You'd like me more if I didn't care about you

(You, you, you, you, you)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh

You'd like me more if I didn't care about you

You'd like me more if I didn't care
