Baby It's You

I saw a firework at sundown
It made me think about where I am now
Just give me some time, and darling I’ll shine
When the days get dark
Don’t you know the secret to growing
Is to fall apart
So shatter me, batter me, oh would you just make me black and blue
You made pieces of my mind and told me I can’t breathe without you
All the times that you lied, I’ll admit felt true
And the Oscar for best gaslighter, goes not to me, it’s you
Baby it’s you x3
You bought me rose tinted glasses
Gave me a false sense of security for laughs
Darling I loved, but it wasn’t enough
And you knew that for sure
But you lead me up the path with all those red flags
That you told me to ignore
So shatter me, batter me, oh would you just make me black and blue
You made pieces of my mind and told me I can’t breathe without you
All the times that you lied, I’ll admit felt true
And the Oscar for best gaslighter, goes not to me, it’s you
Baby it’s you x3
Curtain call, the lights go down
Hang your veil, there’s no one else around
Curtain call, the lights go down
too much to save you while I was the one who drowned
I was the one who drowned
So shatter me, batter me, oh would you just make me black and blue
You made pieces of my mind and told me I can’t breathe without you
All the times that you lied, I’ll admit felt true
And the Oscar for best gaslighter, goes not to me, it’s you
Baby it’s you x3

I Deserve Better

I do some stupid shit when I’m in love
Like tell you that I love you
Who knew that all of me could never be enough for you
It was the least you could do
And it keeps me up all night
Trying to figure out what changed your mind
And then it hits me
There was another girl
Another not your type
What turned your head this time?
Was she sweet and kind?
You up and left me, baby
With little excuse
Said you didn’t want me,
Couldn’t tell me the truth
Oh, it’s fine
At least now I can sleep at night
I know who’s right
And I deserve better next time
You do some stupid shit when you’re in love
Like throw a year of your life away
You try to talk me down and say you’ve had enough
A relationship is not what you want
And it keeps me up all night
Trying to figure out what changed your mind
And then it hits me
There was another girl
Another not your type
What turned your head this time?
Was she sweet and kind?
You up and left me, baby
With little excuse
Said you didn’t want me,
Couldn’t tell me the truth
Oh, it’s fine
At least now I can sleep at night
I know who’s right
And I deserve better next time

I should have known
Should have known
I should have known better
That when you talked
About us
, you didn’t mean forever
It was there
Very clear
In front of my blue eyes
It took a step back
To make me realise
You
You’re not the one for me
You fooled
Yeah, you fooled everybody
We fooled every body
You
You’re not the one for me
You’re not the one for me
Contrary to popular belief
It’s contrary to popular belief
I told my friends
All of them
I’ve met that someone
You talked
About life
Like it was season 1
Can’t believe
Shame on me
I let you in deep
My gem of a heart
Feels like it’s dirt cheap
You
You’re not the one for me
You fooled
Yeah, you fooled everybody
We fooled every body
You
You’re not the one for me
You’re not the one for me
Contrary to popular belief
It’s contrary to popular belief
I take it back, we’re melting
Slipping through my fingers already
Struggling with commitment
I could’ve sworn we were steady
You
You’re not the one for me
You fooled
Yeah, you fooled everybody
We fooled every body
You
You’re not the one for me
You’re not the one for me
Contrary to popular belief
It’s contrary to popular belief

Love Could Never

You used to call me baby
But now you never call
I know I’m better of without you
‘Cause you feel nothing at all
Even at 4am, when you wanted to be friends
Or the week before, when you said we could be more
I was a test to you, a box you could tick
The naive girl who though “this could be it”
Forever
A true love could never
I used to visit you on your lunch hour
Now you don’t give me the time of day
I guess I’ve got more time on my hands
And we don’t have to settle for your way
Like at 4am, when you wanted to be friends
Or the week before, when you said we could be more
I was a test to you, a box you could tick
The naive girl who though “this could be it”
Forever
A true love could never
Was It really love or did I love the idea of you?
Was it really tough to tell me you found someone new?
I cried myself to sleep at night
For month or five
While you went out there, head held high
Living your best life
Well it’s 4am, I don’t wanna be friends
And the week before, I thought I wanted more
You were a lesson learned, a habit I kicked
The wiser woman in me thought “enough of this”
The moment hit me when, I found myself
Encapsulated with no one else
I held my head up so high
Forgave myself for trying to try
Forever
A true love would never
I know that now
You used to call me baby
But I’m someone else’s now
