[Verse 1]
I watched the sunrise today
Chasing the moon on its way
Blood orange flooding the bay
Oh, what a fruitless escape
[Pre-Chorus]
Wishful thinking I could push the dark aside
Overthinking lines, holding back replies
Reading all their lies, thinking that they're right
[Chorus]
Gotta stop, gotta stop, gotta stop caring
I know you're probably hurting
The way that I'm hurting
We're both the same
Need someone to blame
Do you search just to see me
And hope I'm unhappy to ease the pain?
An easy escape
I know it's not your fault
'Cause you’re a sad girl, just like me
[Verse 2]
Say you don't care what they say
But you bottle it up anyway
Save it for a rainy day
So the sad hours won't go away
[Pre-Chorus]
Wishful thinking I could push the dark aside
Overthinking lines, holding back replies
Reading all their lies, thinking that they're right
[Chorus]
Gotta stop, gotta stop, gotta stop caring
I know you're probably hurting
The way that I'm hurting
We're both the same
Need someone to blame
Do you search just to see me
And hope I'm unhappy to ease the pain?
An easy escape
I know it's not your fault
'Cause you’re a sad girl, just like me
[Bridge]
Am I wrong? Sometimes, I get it wrong
Maybe you're jealous, you think that I've won
But I know if only you knew
The hate in your words, you'd hate them too
[Chorus]
'Cause I know that you're probably hurting
The way that I'm hurting
We're both the same
Need someone to blame
Do you search just to see me
And hope I'm unhappy to ease the pain?
An easy escape
I know it's not your fault
'Cause you're a sad girl, just like me
[Outro]
I know it's not your fault
'Cause you're a sad girl, just like me
