[Verse 1]
You were my first bad habit
Lip ring
Cigarette grin
Said you were "damaged
Tragic"
I thought I could fix your sins
Counting lies in your bedroom
Red flags on the floor
You called it love
Called it "destiny"
I just called it war
[Pre-Chorus]
You always swore you'd change
Same script
Same cheap show
You only miss my name
Now that I've let go (yeah)
[Chorus]
You only want me now that I'm gone
Now that I'm stronger
Now that I'm wrong
For you
Rust on your halo
It's peeling off slow
I buried that girl that you used to know
So no
You don't get a sequel to our sorry show
[Verse 2]
Years pass
Then your number
Lights up my new phone
Typing out your confession
Like a saint come home
"Baby
I'm sober
I'm different"
Funny
I'm different too
I learned to sleep through lightning
I learned to live through you
[Pre-Chorus]
You say you still see us
In every passing face
You loved the way I bled
You just hate the empty space (yeah)
[Chorus]
You only want me now that I'm gone
Now that I'm stronger
Now that I'm wrong
For you
Rust on your halo
It's peeling off slow
I buried that girl that you used to know
So no
You don't get a sequel to our sorry show
[Bridge]
I remember shaking
Locked in the bathroom stall
You pounding on the door
Saying I was all you had
Funny how your "forever"
Lasted ‘til the next fight
I used to beg for mercy
Now I just hang up
[Chorus]
You only want me now that I'm gone
Now that I'm brighter
Now that I've outgrown
You
Rust on your halo
I'm watching it fall
You miss my chaos
You don't miss me at all
So go
I already burned down our tired old ghost
[Outro]
First love
Worst drug
You were my lesson
Not my loss
First cut
Last scar
You don't get to cross this heart (hey)
