mistake

He hold me when I’m crying

Bring flowers to my door

Call me when he say he will

Never gotta ask for more

He tell me that I’m beautiful

Even when my hair a mess

Got me feeling safe enough

To finally get some rest

And I should probably love him

But every time your name light up

My whole body still reacts

I hate that

You did me dirty

Did me wrong

Took me places I ain’t belong

Made me question everything

Then disappeared and left me lost

And somehow that’s the one I want

Tell me that’s insane

Tell me that I’m crazy

Cause every time I’m moving on

You call me baby

And I know

I know

I know

You ain’t no good for me

But when you look me in my eyes

It’s like my memory leaves

My friends all tired of hearing it

They say girl stand up

Girl let him go

Girl he don’t love you

I know

I know

I know

But then you call

And there I go

Back in that passenger seat

Back in your oversized tee

Back making promises

Neither one of us gon’ keep

You say you miss me

I say stop lying

You say you serious

I start smiling

See that’s the problem

I hate that you’re honest

But I love that you’re honest

Thought I hated liars

Till I learned how good lying feels sometimes

You tell me things I don’t wanna hear

I tell you things I don’t even mean

Somewhere in between

We’re both guilty

My new man think I’m sleeping

You texting me at 3

Talking ‘bout remember when

Like memory ain’t my weakness

Talking ‘bout forever

Like forever wasn’t bleeding

You got a talent

For making bad ideas sound decent

And I hate that

You know my favorite song

You know my coffee order

You know exactly how to get

One foot back through the door

I swear I’m done

Until I’m not

I swear it’s over

Then it’s not

I swear this time

I’m choosing peace

Then you show up

And there goes me

I hate that you’re honest

But I love that you’re honest

Thought I hated liars

Till I learned how good lying feels sometimes

Maybe that’s my problem

I make meaning out of nothing

I make stories out of dust

I make poetry from pennies

Then expect the same from us

Maybe that’s my problem

Maybe that’s why I can’t leave

Cause every version of my future

Still got pieces of you in me

I hate that you’re honest

But I love that you’re honest

Maybe I’m just looking for myself

Inside everybody else

Inside everybody else

Inside everybody else
