you thought I let you into my heart
but it was a trap door
thought I was rolling out the red carpet
but it was a bare floor
see I never intended to tell you a lie
wouldn’t have pulled the wool over your eyes
Oh no, I don’t give a damn if I am on the line
oh I’ll just say goodbye
when did that become a crime?
I don’t even have a good reason
I never do, I just get that itch to be leaving
your room and my worried shoes
you thought I was the end of the line
but I’m just a pit stop
thought I was everything you needed and more
I made your heart stop drop and roll
oh but I know that it’s only a matter of time
before I’m lookin’ from the other side, oh no
I’ll say that I just had to let that one go
anyways I’m better off on my own
it’s getting harder every time
I don’t even have a good reason
I never do, I just get that itch to be leaving
your room and my worried shoes
you thought I let you into my heart
but it was a trap door
