You should've listened when I told you you'd eventually regret me
But what was I supposed to think when you worked so damn hard to get me
I fed you lines from a script I didn't even know I'd written
And scenes never meant to be recited
But it wasn't all an act
I fell in love with your laugh
Now all I ever do is crave your silence
But dark hair and tinted glasses
Tells me he's a little out of practice
But the way he tries is kind of romantic
And maybe I'm just scared of what'll happen
If he can tell when I try to hide my sadness
But I've never been much of an actress
It's just a force of habit
Is it overthinking if you always end up being right
Every time
Can you get called elusive
If you don't even know that your excuse ain't right
My fingertips stained with gray
As I ran my fingers 'cross your face
As if I was too hard to love
You were so damn hard to love
I hope that you take over Charlotte
And get everything you ever wanted
Just to find nothing's ever enough
Same stare, different tragic
Now you're void of all compassion
And we're but a montage of my worst actions
And maybe I should just deny my passion
Abandon all sense of attachment
But I've never been much of an actress
You know I call love all kinds of stupid
But you treat your men like you treat your music
But we both know that the solo act ain't fun
All my songs, all my excuses
I swear to God I'd wait to do this
But baby what you're feeling isn't love
No it wasn't love
And now they're sitting on the couch in the middle of the night
Glared into your hollow eyes
I showed my heart, you showed your pride
You showed your true colors for the very first time
I just wanted you to know me
And I've always felt your pain
And I've always been so lonely
So you had to make me feel the same
My words at night might have been vicious
But I told you to mind your f*cking business
But I've never been a silent witness
Dark thoughts, rose-tinted vision
You were warned but you didn't listen
Now we can't tell who owes who forgiveness
