ah
it is all starting to make sense
the way you were so forward in front of your friends
how you portrayed yourself as different
than all the other guys in line
it must be cursed hindsight

man
you were killing me with the suspense
eager to know when we'd link again
told me to not be afraid to dive right in
then you left me on read seven nights
wondered what i wasn't doing right

then i realized who you were
all the things you'd probably heard
call me crazy for considering
that you were affected by the whispering
if you can't carry the weight of my name
you'd never be able to harness my flame
and that is just a shame on you
you're too sensitive for the truth

hmm
the idea seemed so extreme
at first i didn't wanna believe
not me, not i, i couldn't be so naive
then my stomach starts to turn
as i gear up for the worst

well
its easy to say i should've seen
the flashing signs and subtle warnings
that's confirmation bias baby
but it's too late to prevent that hurt
all i can do is leave you first

cause when i realized who you were
and all the things you'd probably heard
i didn't feel so crazy for considering
that you distanced because of the whispering
you obviously can't handle the heat behind my name
you were always gonna blister over my flame
and that's just a shame but i ain't too blue
i severely underestimated you

had me going crazy
only for you baby
ain't that mighty sad
heard that i was crazy
couldn't take that maybe
so you let it go bad
thought it'd split me
but you missed me
baby i'm just too fast
you'll never get me
and when you miss me
that'll just be too bad

all i know is
it's nothing that i did
gave you a chance
you wasted it
too immature
to say something
too childish
to confront me
if you would've
let me know
i could've told you
on the low
but you wanna
consort with them
you'll never be
burdened by me again
i take pride
in who's by my side
if you're that concerned with image
you should be terrified
