Is this bad timing or just bad luck
The worst thing you could do is to stay
It'd be best if you just left
me to down in thoughts of you
I'd rather paint a perfect picture of imagination
Than let you **** my color pallet
With the truth of demons inside you
Because it will always remain the same
The simplest constant that you contain
I can play and play and play but
I'll never beat you at this game.

You're an expert at picking the best times
To hit me with the hardest lines
For me to hear you say.
Drop me from 60 to 0 faster
Than a bullet heading my way.
I was so good without you
Why'd you have to show me better
I could have been fine with good enough
Now I'll know what I'm missing forever.

You told me this right here was overrated
But I just love to watch you move
I just need to hear you say it
Tell me how I'm worthless, that to you it's just a game
Teach me how to hate even the simple sound of your name
Cause you're a poison that I can't stop drinking
You're a poison that's fogged my thinking
And I've been thinking lately that maybe
You were gonna be who saved me
But you watched me drown, you drilled the holes
So tell me this is nothing, teach me how it goes
I need to hear you say it, I love it when you lie
Tell me you can just walk away
Look me in the face as you stare right through my eyes
Tell me you want me gone
And I'll leave before you can say goodbye
You told me I was overrated
Just a way to fill your nights
You told me this was overrated
We can both pretend you're right

I'll kiss the past goodbye
Just to kiss you one more time
Take a few steps back
When we pretended you were mine
I don't know how it happened
It didn't take very long
I wanted you from the beginning
I've never been so wrong
You ruined all my favorite songs
So lean into me closer, if only for once more
You've won the game baby
I'm done with keeping score

You burned every bridge you ever set in place
To realize the ocean was larger than expected
Keep on swimming baby we'd hate to see you drown
We'd hate to see you sink to the bottom
With no air close enough to save you
No time to make it back to the surface
How's it feel when the walls close up around you
When the ones who held the keys to save you
Were the ones you threw away
You burned every bridge you ever set in place darling
I hope you brought a life jacket

Call me crazy baby
For you I went insane
You showed me how it was to grasp this
Then how it felt to watch it fall
You asked me to bet on you
Then threw away the power ball
I decided you were my definition
To a word that couldn't be defined
Don't go back, I got the memories stained
I don't need to hit rewind
I went from thinking of you all day
To thinking of you every day
To wishing you never pressed play
In the first place
You saw me, had to know you'd break me
If all you wanted was a quick game
You could have spared me

You like to slide a little closer
When the fillers clear the room
When you're all I'm reaching for
When I'm all you can consume
You're my endless shots of whiskey
I'm your secret nicotine
You only light up when you crave me
I only crave you when I breathe
Do you wish I'd never leave
When your hands escape home
To say hello to mine
You like to slide a little closer
I wish you did it all the time.
