Maykenzie Joy - But I've Tried Lyrics

Unfamiliar when they call to me
I stay out of reach, craving your tongue and cheek
Almost molecular, your bond to me
Stitch our tapestry, weaving thread through my teeth
How did we get this far? I pray to your unholy spirit
Uncover my deepest scar for something lovely and horrific
I couldn't hate you if I tried
Call it the artistry of suffocating
I couldn't hate you if I tried
You could make an enemy of anything, and certainly I'm no exception
Still, I couldn't hate you, but I've tried
So particular, the way you speak
To your company, welcome Miss Misery
Perpendicular honesties
Sit across the street, barking at me
How did we get this far? We meet in mutual defiance
Discover a brand new scar and watch you try to redefine it
I couldn't hate you if I tried
Call it the artistry of suffocating
I couldn't hate you if I tried
You could make an enemy of anything, and certainly I'm no exception
Still, I couldn't hate you, but I've tried
Even if I call it a night, borrow the knife
That's been taking up space in my spine
I still find gold in your eyes, made for the perfect fool
No matter how hard I try, dodge and deny
That you're taking up space in my mind
I know I don't have to lie
'Cause my name still holds weight to you
How peculiar a tragedy
It's your melody that sings me to sleep
I couldn't hate you if I tried
Call it the artistry of suffocating
I couldn't hate you if I tried
You could make an enemy of anything, I'm suddenly your worst invention
Still, I couldn't hate you, but I've tried
No, I couldn't hate you
But I've tried
