Confidence man lyrics

[Verse 1]
Double park against the law in an alley
At some sh*tty little dive in the valley
My last lover like a ghost at the table
You two were born the same day in April

[Pre-Chorus]
And I almost imagine a thing he might do
But this isn't about him, this is about you
And I want you to happen to me, but I'll use
Him as an excuse if I have to

[Chorus]
If I have to find someone but me to blame
If I beg you for you then just walk away
I know that to use his knife is wrong
But I'm scared I'll pull his con on you

[Verse 2]
You only drink on special occasions
You're shooting whiskey like you're on vacation
Your ex rings and you screen her calls
But mine feels likе he's in the walls

[Pre-Chorus]
You're bеing too kind and it's making me mean
But this isn't about you, it's about me
And I want you to happen so badly to me
But I'll use his words as a smokescreen
[Chorus]
If I have to find someone but me to blame
If I beg you for you then just walk away
I know that to use his knife is wrong
But I'm scared I'll pull his con on you

[Bridge]
I'll give him what he wanted
The mark becomes the con man
I gave him what he wanted
This isn't what you wanted
No, not this kind of artist
This isn't what you wanted

[Chorus]
I need somebody but me to blame
If I beg you for you then just walk away
I know that to use his knife is wrong
But I'm scared I'll pull his con on you

[Outro]
I'll give him what he wanted
The mark becomes the con man
I gave him what he wanted
I'll give him what he wanted
I gave him what he wanted
This isn't what you wanted
