Lyrics Asshole - The Lumineers

And I know what you said to me was wrong
But kindness came and bit my tongue
I must admit, the taste of it is keepin' me awake

You did your best to throw me off the scent
Betrayed yourself on accident
I saw it when you lit the filter of your cigarette

And the smoke, it filled your lungs
You left before the sun

First we ever met
You thought I was an asshole
Probably correct
But I can see your shadow

And all the twenty-something mannequins
Their hearts are barely broken in
But maybe now I'm just a coward envyin' the brave

And every time you tried to let me in
Your nails, they barely broke the skin
I must admit, the taste of it is keepin' me awake

And we passed out on the rug
And you left before the sun

The first we ever met
You thought I was an asshole
Probably correct
But I can see your shadow

Only for the night
Only for the weekend
Pour another wine
Take me to your deep end

First we ever met (silence, oh, the sinner lost his way)
You thought I was an asshole
Probably correct (livin' for the love of yesterday)
But I can see your shadow ('cause all alone and all the days)

Only for the night (you're givin' up, you hid away)
Only for the weekend
Pour another wine (livin' for the love of yesterday)
Take me to your deep end

First we ever met
You thought I was an asshole
Probably correct
But I still feel your shadow
