[Intro]
No, nothin' lasts forever, does it?
You say you don't regret it, it was worth it all, but was it?
You're probably happier that I'm out of the picture
I act like I'm all good, but oh no damn I'm really missin' you
[Pre-Chorus]
So, hate me if you think it feels right
I'll be here wastin' all my fuckin 'time
I put your clothes and your colours outside where I couldn't see
You gave your soul to another, you said "No, that couldn't be"
[Chorus]
But you can leave me if you want to, I'll be waitin' by my bedside
Probably shouldn't speak until we heal and get our heads right
You fucked me up, I guess I did it too
I'm just a mess, I'll try my best until I'm over-
You can leave me if you wanna, well we really wasted our time
Probably shouldn't speak until we heal and get our heads right
You fucked me up, I guess I did it too
I'm just a mess, I'll try my best until I'm over you
[Verse 1]
Still got your diamond, it's been shinin' since December
So many lies that came to light the burnin' embers
Don't wanna vibe, just wanna hide, little pretender
You made your mind up when I found out your disguise
You took that mask and put it on like every night
And then I found me someone new to sleep aside
I know that a struck a nerve, don't worry you'll survive
Just like I had to, oh my bad, know I can't bear to see you sad
And I wish I could take it back
I guess it's true when they say nothin' ever truly lasts
So pardon my attitude, I don't mean to be mean
It's been so hard to be myself after what you did to me
[Pre-Chorus]
So, hate me if you think it feels right
I'll be here wastin' all my fuckin 'time
I put your clothes and your colours outside where I couldn't see
You gave your soul to another, you said "No, that couldn't be"
[Chorus]
But you can leave me if you want to, I'll be waitin' by my bedside
Probably shouldn't speak until we heal and get our heads right
You fucked me up, I guess I did it too
I'm just a mess, I'll try my best until I'm over-
You can leave me if you wanna, well we really wasted our time
Probably shouldn't speak until we heal and get our heads right
You fucked me up, I guess I did it too
I'm just a mess, I'll try my best until I'm over you
