lyrics

That, I guess that is that
I am back to believing no ugly deceiving life hacks
Water the plants, the dirt was dry and
I’m growing as twice as fast as you did try
To grow me and shoot me up high
But it felt more like suppression so I put up a fight
Walls so thick, bolder than lipstick
If you’re feeling sad then hold me to that
(And you asked me)
Why did you leave if you were never really there?
Why did I expect you to stay if you were never really there?
I said I needed to leave cause I was never really there
In the first place

What’s new? Country boy
Stay glum til a new girl charges ya ego to the sun
While I stray far away, you still think I’m running from the best thing I had, you’re wrong in every way
But I act like you could be right
Cause it makes ya feel better, helps you sleep at night
(And you asked me)
Why did you leave if you were never really there?
Why did I expect you to stay if you were never really there?
I said I needed to leave cause I was never really there

My lips were covered, I could not make a sound
Well I only just discovered your love was pushing me down
No love, felt in your arms, dominated by your words enough
That I wasn’t worth more than your messed up love

(I said) I needed to leave immediately from this shit hole
You’ve wondered why so often I came off as cold
But your indirect attention to turn success into flaws
I couldn’t live a life feeling so very withdrawn
I needed to leave cause I was never really, there, anymore

Why did you leave if you were never really there?
Why did I expect you to stay if you were never really there?
I said I needed to leave cause I was never really there
In the first place

What’s new? Country boy
Stay glum til a new girl charges ya ego to the sun
While I stray far away
You still think I’m running from the best thing I had
You’re wrong in every way
But I act like you could be right, cause it makes ya feel better, helps you sleep at night
(And you asked me)
Why did you leave if you were never really there?
Why did I expect you to stay if you were never really there?
I said I needed to leave cause I was never really there

My lips were covered, I could not make a sound
Well I only just discovered your love was pushing me down
No love, felt in your arms, dominated by your words enough
That I wasn’t worth more than your messed up love

(I said) I needed to leave immediately from this shit hole
You’ve wondered why so often I came off as cold
But your indirect attention to turn success into flaws
I couldn’t live a life feeling so very withdrawn
I needed to leave cause I was never really, there, anymore
