Pieces

Look in your window to see if you’re still there
Pieces of me are too
You’re mad at the world for the way I let you down
And I’m still mad at you

I didn’t mean to hurt you when I left
I felt like there was no other way
Our home exploded I needed to be alone
Cuz it was you I wanted to blame

You’re not who you said you were
I put you up onto a pedestal
Wish I could go back, change my words
But was it what you deserve?

You bathed me in what I wanted to hear
But not what I needed
I stayed just a little too long
And I - I didn’t mean it
So I pick up our pieces tryna put us back together
Ignored intuition and I should’ve known better
You bathed me in what I wanted to hear
Not what I needed

So many issues I brought to your attention
And you just pushed them aside
You knew how hard it was for me to speak up
Normally I just let it slide

But you gave the courage to be myself
Then hung me out to dry
Guess it was my fault for believing that one man could take on two lives

You’re not who you said you were
I put you up onto a pedestal
Wish I could go back, change my words
But was it what you deserve?

You bathed me in what I wanted to hear
But not what I needed
I stayed just a little too long
And I - I didn’t mean it
So I pick up our pieces tryna put us back together
Ignored intuition and I should’ve known better
You bathed me in what I wanted to hear
Not what I needed

Wish I could forget all of this
Just go back for one last day
Let my ignorance be my bliss
Sip on some lavender grey
But it’s not what I need
Maybe I don’t understand
Life with you had more meaning
I’ll never be the same, but I’d be a liar to pretend

You bathed me in what I wanted to hear
But not what I needed
I stayed just a little too long
And I - I didn’t mean it
So I pick up our pieces tryna put us back together
Ignored intuition and I should’ve known better
You bathed me in what I wanted to hear
Not what I needed
