[Verse 1]
I brought you your tea in the rain
Folded your sleeve, said your name
You smiled like it meant something
Then left it there, nothing
I fixed the frame on your wall
You said, “That’s sweet,” that was all
My hands stayed full of your give
But you never let it live
[Pre-Chorus]
People talk, they say
“That’s just how you play”
But when I’m close, you change
You make it look like love
[Chorus]
Mismatch, mismatch
You pull me in, then you split that
Mismatch, mismatch
You act like mine, then you ditch that
Around me, you shine
For everybody else, you hide
Mismatch, mismatch
You call it love, I call it mismatch
[Verse 2]
I saved you the last seat home
Checked on you when you were gone
You wore my care like a badge
Then tossed it right back in the bag
They see a colder side
I see the one you keep inside
Maybe I caught your soft spot
Maybe I’m just the wrong lot
[Pre-Chorus]
People talk, they say
“That’s just how you play”
But when I’m close, you change
You make it look like love
[Chorus]
Mismatch, mismatch
You pull me in, then you split that
Mismatch, mismatch
You act like mine, then you ditch that
Around me, you shine
For everybody else, you hide
Mismatch, mismatch
You call it love, I call it mismatch
[Bridge]
If you mean it, say it clear
Don’t leave me hanging here
I’m not mad, I’m just done
With the almost, the maybe, the none
[Final Chorus]
Mismatch, mismatch
You pull me in, then you split that
Mismatch, mismatch
You act like mine, then you ditch that
Around me, you shine
For everybody else, you hide
Mismatch, mismatch
You call it love, I call it mismatch
