You've got a nerve giving me the cold shoulder Giving me the twice over, that's not deserved And we'll talk again when you're sober You said that I've got cold and our heat has gone I wanna be your eyes So you can see what you've done I wanna be your ears So you can hear everything that's been missing Finders keepers Will you keep me in mind? I like secrets Cause they keep me in line Old habits die hard But I'm too young to die I guess it's a mess if you make your bed So why are we still laying in it? And I could barely sleep, I could barely eat And it's been three whole weeks Since I heard you speak So hard to take That eighteen months was built to break Oh, I love mistakes Especially ones you've made I bet you're sorry Finders keepers Will you keep me in mind? I like secrets Cause they keep me in line Old habits die hard But I'm too young to die Finders keepers The whole thing is a lie You won't find her Cause she's too hard to find Take my advice and boy, run a mile And have another drink And then think this one over You dig yourself a grave everyday you're sober Do you see what I mean? Have your best interest written all over me I could never be what you need Finders keepers Will you keep me in mind? I like secrets Cause they keep me in line Old habits die hard But I'm too young to die Finders keepers The whole thing is a lie You won't find her Cause she's too hard to find Take my advice and boy, run a mile And I bet you guess me right (You guess me yes, you guessed me right) I bet you guess me right
