Don’t Say You Ain’t Know

Verse 1 – slow, intimate vocals over acoustic guitar + low 808s]

You knew I was bad news

The second I kissed you with your tears still fresh

You liked the way I held you

But ignored how I never looked you in the eye

I said I don’t do love

You said you could handle it

Now you in my bed

Cryin’ like I promised you something real

⸻

Don’t say you ain’t know

I was cold from the jump

You held a flame in your hands

Thinkin’ it wouldn’t burn you up

Don’t say you ain’t know

I was empty when we met

You gave me everything

I gave you regret

⸻

You let me lie

And called it love

You saw red flags

And painted roses

I said I don’t stay

You still made room for me

Like I was yours

But I never asked to be

⸻

I leave early in the morning

Whiskey breath, same clothes

You text me paragraphs

I send one-word smoke

⸻

Don’t say you ain’t know

I was selfish from the start

You wanted all of me

I only showed you parts

Don’t say you ain’t know

What I was really on

You tried to love a storm

And now you’re mad it’s gone

⸻

You didn’t want a cowboy

You wanted a cure

And now you mad

That I’m still…

Who I was before
