I'm in love with Hannibal.

"Be the Bella to my Jake"

It's been almost a week , we have forty-eight hours left to go
So what are you thinking
as she tilts her head to the side and your eyes follow
Wide-eyed like I used to know (I know the feeling)

Lashes blur the lines of your face in the headlights
The line's been crossed, so don't lose sleep over this
I'm already up enough for the both of us (I know the feeling)
I don't care about anything
So don't say anything

(Chorus)
You're falling out faster, have you caught on yet
that friends never stay friends as long as we did
So consider yourself lucky that I stayed as long as I did
Well, it's not like I meant that much anyway

You know I could never leave this alone
(I know the feeling)
I wasn't prepared for this at all
(I know the feeling)
I just wished I knew how to keep quiet
(I know the feeling)
Maybe this would've ended right

(Repeat chorus)

You're falling out faster, have you caught on yet?
I'm trying harder than ever just to keep your attention
My voice is hoarse from screaming into the air
So why can't you hear me? For once just please, just hear me?
For once just please, just hear me?
(Repeat last line 2x)

(Slowly now..
Slowly now..
I know the feeling)

"He Deals in Even Numbers"

I said I'm sorry, and I know you meant it
well at first, but it's getting lighter by the hour
Sheets stretched over broken shards of glass
The gleam in your eyes blinds me tonight
So don't meet my gaze
(I can't mend this yet
I can't mend this yet)
He says "I have no idea what this is about"
Time you should acknowledge me
I love the way the lies spill as truth across the page
as your face betrays everything
So don't meet my gaze
(I can't mend this yet
I can't mend this yet)

Well, I never said this wasn't all your fault
And I know I should blame you
And maybe I should hate you (Repeat chorus)

I should've learned by now that this never comes easy
I should've seen by now that you never would allow it
I should've said something by now to make this easy
I gave up everything

(Chorus, repeat last line)

You know I'm all yours, baby
You know I could never stay away
And I hate the way you know me so well (too well)
You said you'd never let me down
(I should've learned by now)
You said you'd never let me down
(I should've seen by now)
You said you'd never let me down
(I should've said something by now)
You said you'd never let me down

(...and maybe I should hate you for this
...and maybe I should hate you for this)
