Wil Wagner - Landlord lyrics

[Verse 1] I stood in the place where you f**ed me and thought about how I'd never see you again I still sleep in the room where you dumped me, voices still in the walls and I'll bring home new friends Gotta shake off these nasty addictions, to gratification and flagellation It's too late in the evening and it's too late in general I miss having meaning and a distraction for myself Want to be struck by new love's lightning all f**ed up dripping wet and frightening Or just have something that leaves me smiling to myself as I walk back home [Chorus] But I'd become less like a lover and more like a landlord And I was less like a lover and more like a carer that I could not afford And you were less like your old self and more like your mother I was hopeful but hopeless now I'm just one of the others You are less like a lover and more like a landlord [Verse 2] Said I'll be your emergency contact if you kiss me when you get back I called you, I had to, went straight to your message bank Wanted to make up for a lost time, make up for a lost cause Would've stood tall, but for once in my life I wasn't the one who pushed for the fall So one of these days I'm gonna drop dead and you'll only remember the nice things I said So put your rose-coloured gla**es on, pretend you're fine until I'm gone And you can do whatever the f** you want [Chorus] And I'd become less like a lover and more like a landlord And you'd become less like a lover and more like a carer that I could not afford And you were less of your old self and more like your mother I was hopeful but hopeless now I'm just one of the others I was less like a lover and more like a landlord [Verse 3] I still sleep in the room where you dumped me Write songs about how I'm never speaking to you again Shouldn't make any difference, surroundings don't influence The person that I think I am [x4] [Chorus] And I'd become less like a lover and more like a landlord And you'd become less like a lover and more like a carer that I could not afford And you were less of your old self and more like your mother I was hopeful but hopeless now I'm just one of the others You were less like a lover and more like a landlord
