Lyrics Asshole (Acoustic) - 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
You thought I was an asshole
Probably correct
But I still feel your shadow

First we ever met
You thought I was an asshole
