You're a youthful mess
In a truthful time
Could put up with this
With a younger mind
With a younger mind
You lit the candle, but you took my spark
It was hard to handle when it fell apart
It fell apart
Yah, you were taking your time
Making a mess of mind
The craziest part of me was you
Yeah, you were messin' my mind
You took my hand and didn't breathe a word
The sound of what you want is all you heard
You thought I'd carry you
You thought I'd carry you
When you're heavy
When you're heavy
When you're heavy
When you're heavy
(Ohhh)
No we're not animals
Not just next of kin
(Ohhh)
We are reptiles
Because we shed our skin
(Ohhh)
You thought that I needed you
Because I let you in
(Ohhh)
I love like a reptile
Yeah, I shed my skin
You fixed to swindle
Right from the start
You tried to change me
It broke my heart
Broke my heart
I can strip the feeling from every bone
I can start the healing before you know
Before you know
Yeah, you were taking your time
Making a mess of my mind
The craziest part of me was you
Yeah, you were messin' my mind
It felt like a whisper but it shook my head
Some words are better spoke than left unsaid
Than left unsaid
When you're heavy
When you're heavy
When you're heavy
When you're heavy
(Ohhh)
No we're not animals
Not just next of kin
(Ohhh)
We are reptiles
Because we shed our skin
(Ohhh)
You thought that I needed you
Because I let you in
(Ohhh)
I love like a reptile
Yeah I shed my skin
(Ohhh)
(You thought I needed you)
No we're not animals
(You thought I needed you)
Not just next of kin
(Ohhh)
We are reptiles
Because we shed our skin
(Ohhh)
(You thought I needed you)
You thought that I needed you
(You thought I needed you)
Because I let you in
(Ohhh)
I love like a reptile
Yeah, I shed my skin
