Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Put my twenties in your palms, gave you all my better days
Missing sleep to chase your storms, still I tried to keep you safe
You kept sayin', "Do a little more," so I broke myself in two
Taught you how to love somebody, you forgot to love me too
You ain't hear me when I whispered, you ain't listen when I cried
Only saw me when I snapped and let that anger show my pride
Soon as I started losin' all that common sense you knew
You flipped a switch, got brand new, but I was already through
[Chorus]
Now every time your name comes up, I taste the bitterness and bile
All them nights I bled for us just pile up in a crooked file
You only found your sense when I went wild, when I crossed that line
Too little, too late, now you just live in a corner of my mind
All those memories make me sick, but I still miss us for a while
So I wear this broken heart on my face, yeah, I got a heartbroken smile
[Verse 2]
We had plans for a ring, couple kids, new house on a hill
I was grindin' double shifts just to help you chase your thrills
You were busy countin' options while I counted every bill
You were out there choosin' chaos, I was choosin' to stay still
Tried to warn you I was slippin', tried to tell you I was done
You ain't hear me till I snapped and started actin' like the one
You been prayin' I would leave for, actin' wrong, outta line
That's when you finally got some sense, but I was leavin' you behind
[Chorus]
Now every time your name comes up, I taste the bitterness and bile
All them nights I bled for us just pile up in a crooked file
You only found your sense when I went wild, when I crossed that line
Too little, too late, now you just live in a corner of my mind
All those memories make me sick, but I still miss us for a while
So I wear this broken heart on my face, yeah, I got a heartbroken smile
[Verse 3]
Now my phone light up at midnight, you be beggin' for another chance
Talkin' 'bout how you done changed, how you finally understand
But I can't unsee the moments where you watched me fall apart
Took my kindness for a weakness, took advantage of my heart
Yeah, I'm older, little colder, but I'm finally seein' clear
You the reason that I flinch when somebody gets too near
Every laugh we ever shared now got me feelin' kinda vile
I'm disgusted by the thought of you, still smirkin' through this trial
[Chorus]
Now every time your name comes up, I taste the bitterness and bile
All them nights I bled for us just pile up in a crooked file
You only found your sense when I went wild, when I crossed that line
Too little, too late, now you just live in a corner of my mind
All those memories make me sick, but I still miss us for a while
So I hide my pain behind these teeth, yeah, it's just a heartbroken smile
All those memories make me sick, but I still miss us for a while
So I walk away and face tomorrow with this same heartbroken smile
