[Verse 1]
             
Make sure nobo

              
dy sees you le

   
ave
              
Hood over your

              
 head, keep yo

            
ur eyes down
              
Tell your frie

              
nds you're out

        
 for a run
              
You’ll be flus


hed when you r

eturn
             
Take the road 

              
less traveled 

 
by
              
Tell yourself 

              
you can always

     
 stop
              
What started i

              
n beautiful ro

   
oms
              
Ends with meet


ings in parkin

g lots


[Chorus]

And that's the

 thing about i

llicit affairs
            
And clandestin

              
e meetings and

 
 longing stare

s

It's born from

 just one sing

le glance
       
But it dies an

d it dies and 

it dies
  
A million litt

le times


[Verse 2]
             
Leave the perf

              
ume on the she

   
lf
              
That you picke

              
d out just for

    
 him
              
So you leave n

              
o trace behind
         
Like you don’t

 even exist
             
Take the words

              
 for what they

    
 are
              
A dwindling, m

             
ercurial high
              
A drug that on

         
ly worked
    
The first few 

hundred times


[Chorus]

And that's the

 thing about i

llicit affairs
            
And clandestin

              
e meetings and

 
 stolen stares

They show thei

r truth one si

ngle time
         
But they lie a

nd they lie an

d they lie
  
A million litt

le times


[Bridge]

And you wanna scream

Don't call me 

"kid," don't c

You showed me

w I can't see 

     
with anyone el

se

Don't call me 

"kid," don't c

all me "baby"

Look at this i

diotic fool th

at you made me
             
You taught me 

              
a secret langu

              
age I can't sp

         
eak with anyon

e else


[Outro]
          
And you know d

    
amn well
              
For you, I wou

   
ld ruin myself
  
A million litt
