Adelaide Lyrics

You're repeating me lines
That you think I want to hear
But I don't want to hear anymore
As if sorry is any consolation
For what it's worth, you're stringing me alone

Should, should, shouldn't need anyone
Shouldn't need anyone
Just scared of being alone
But by the time you've figured this out
And I'm already gone

Adelaide, Adelaide
You really had me going this time
Adelaide, Adelaide
You need to quit, quit making a scene

Adelaide, Adelaide
You really had me going this time
Adelaide, Adelaide
You need to quit, quit making a scene

You keep giving me signs
That you think I want to see
But you're nothing like you've seen
Hide behind your half smile
But the truth is so undeniable

Should, should, shouldn't need anyone
Shouldn't need anyone
Just scared of being alone
But by the time you've figured this out
And I'm already gone

Adelaide, Adelaide
You really had me going this time
Adelaide, Adelaide
You need to quit, quit making a scene

Adelaide, Adelaide
You really had me going this time
Adelaide, Adelaide
You need to quit, quit making a scene

Like lipstick traces on pillow cases
Some things in life are unforgettable
Like love, loss, lies and lust, whoa
Some things in life are undeniable

Like lipstick traces on pillow cases
Some things in life are unforgettable
Like love, loss, lies and lust, whoa
Some things in life are undeniable

Adelaide, Adelaide
You really had me going this time
Adelaide, Adelaide
You need to quit, quit making a scene

Adelaide, Adelaide
You really had me going this time
Adelaide, Adelaide
You need to quit, quit making a scene
