[Verse 1]
Wasted moments 'til there's nothing left
Golden caskets, filled with regrets
Funny how a good thing's so bad for me (So bad for me)
Tryna get it right
But I'm playing for the wrong team
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been saying shit that I don't mean
To make this heartbreak, make believe
We called it love, but now it's just war
[Chorus]
I'm so sick of telling everyone I wish you were dead
'Cause the truth is, I don't hate you
I just hate that you left
I've been filling up my mind with things I wanna forget
And I should be moving on, but I'm just missing you instead
[Verse 2]
Holding on tight, just a couple feet from grace (Feet from grace)
And I'm losing my head tryna get you off my brain (Off my brain, yeah-eh)
'Cause it kills me to admit that I would do it all again
I'm still holding on tight just a couple feet from grace
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been saying shit that I don't mean
To make this heartbreak, make believe
We called it love, but now it's just war
[Chorus]
I'm so sick of telling everyone I wish you were dead
'Cause the truth is, I don't hate you
I just hate that you left
I've been filling up my mind with things I wanna forget
And I should be moving on, but I'm just missing you instead
[Bridge]
Why is it that every time I'm boarding up my walls
You're right there to break in?
Woah-oh-oh, all I ever wanted was for you to walk these halls
But I watched as you left (Oh-oh)
[Chorus]
I'm so sick of telling everyone I wish you were dead
'Cause the truth is, I don't hate you
I just hate that you left
I've been filling up my mind with things I wanna forget
And I should be moving on, but I'm just missing you instead
(But I'm just missing you instead)
