Italy (Acoustic: Live in Nashville, 2019)

I didn't want you to text me, I didn't ask you to care
I didn't tell you to tell me, you're always gonna be there
You say that you just gotta let me know, but you're always gonna let me go
And I fall so hard, every time you push me
You got your perfect aim and perfect words, and I always end up getting hurt
Now I'm crying in the bath tub here in Italy

Why do you love to lead me on?
Do you just want to be in my songs?
Did you ever care for me at all?
Or was it just fun and games all along?
I saw the real you, and I really loved you
But I don't know where that person has gone
You just got here, to tell me you love me, and you're already gone

I didn't want you to chase me, I didn't ask you to run
You never knew me, the real me, you just assumed I was the one
I already walked away and said goodbye, and you're already back to make me cry
It hurts so bad how much I can't trust you
You say I mean more to you than I could know, but you're always gonna let me go
I have to stop letting myself believe you

Why do you love to lead me on?
Do you just want to be in my songs?
Did you ever care for me at all?
Or was it just fun and games all along?
I saw the real you, and I really loved you
But I don't know where that person has gone
You just got here, to tell me you love me, and you're already gone

You're in my town for a day and that's how long you let me cross your mind
As soon as you leave the state, you forget my name, once again you leave me behind
This could go on forever, I could just let you stay
But I'm burning our bridge to the ground and walking away

Why do you love to lead me on?
Tell me the truth, oh please dear John
Did you ever care for me at all?
Or was it just fun and games all along?
I saw the real you, and I really loved you
But I don't know where that person has gone
You just got here, to tell me you love me, and you're already gone
