Detective lyrics

My back, it hurts again

It aches like history

Cottonmouth and all lit up

You're smiling back at me

But I feel you must have failed me

Once again, you've let me down

My confidence below my knees now

I need to find you out

Peek in, sneak about

I'm gonna snoop and call you out

I caught you, your hands are red

Now I'm your broken hearted detective

Hey lover, why the gun?

Hold on, I'm almost there

It's too late, you killed the trust

Don't act so unaware

So why are you so destructive?

Do you realize what you've done?

You can't bring it back to life now

What are you running from?

Peek in, sneak about

I'm gonna snoop and call you out

I caught you, your hands are red

Now I'm your broken hearted detective

I don't like the way I feel

I just want you to be real

Hey girl, save the liar

Can't you see his pants on fire?

Hey girl, save the liar

Can't you see his pants on fire?

I'm rummaging through your closet

Imagining all the worst thoughts

Peek in, sneak about

I'm gonna snoop and call you out

I caught you, your hands are red

Now I'm your broken hearted detective
