Sidelines

[Verse 1]
I forgot the color of your eyes
Not so sure you ever really looked at mine
You said you wanna go back and try, try, try to treat me right, hmm
I never got the chance to meet your mother
You always said she'd love me but I'd hate her
I never really knew just quite how to take that
So I held back, yeah

[Chorus]
You kept me on the sidelines
Out of your heart, but on your timeline
Just enough love to keep me feelin' fine
Just enough game to keep you on my mind
You kept me on the sidelines
Out of your bones but on your skin at night
Just enough love to keep me feelin' fine
Just enough game to keep you on my mind
You kept me on the sidelines, sidelines
You kept me on the sidelines (Line, line)

[Verse 2]
I got used to shallow breaths
The sound of silence kinda broke my chest
And you checked out from you, yourself and I
And never let me know why
And never let me know why

[Chorus]
You kept me on the sidelines
Out of your heart, but on your timeline
Just enough love to keep me feelin' fine
Just enough game to keep you on my mind
You kept me on the sidelines
Out of your bones but on your skin at night
Just enough love to keep me feelin' fine
Just enough game to keep you on my mind
You kept me on the sidelines, sidelines
You kept me on the sidelines

[Outro]
I don't know what you mean when you cry
What is the secret there in your pride
I don't have time to think about why
Why you cut me on the side
Cut me on the side
Let me on the side
Let me on the side, bye
Why you let me on the
Huh
