Verse 1
You're a nightmare that melted in the morning sun
I'm still beautiful, though I thought I'd come undone
There's smoke, tears, a burning bridge between us two
It was hard with me, but you're not easy, boy, it's true
I feel sorry for your new girlfriend, I do
I'm not jealous — I let go, I'm over you
You'll start from afar again, nice and slow
Watch my stories, hit a like, and then you'll know
And it begins — more calls, a morning in a minor key
Happened hundreds of times, till I cooled down, finally
But you didn't get it the last time we spoke
I've gotten wiser — or maybe I just choked on love and let it go
Chorus
And you're in the bars, drunk and stoned
What are you thinking about, boy, all alone?
How we walked on the sidewalks, wet and old
Barefoot in the morning rain, brave and cold
In the bars — I'm your punishment, I'm your karma
You'll find my type in the crowd, a false alarm
You rolled up, she got hot — a familiar fire
But it's not me again, just a mirage, your desire
Verse 2
You're a nightmare that flies on the wings of the night
You're drawn to me, but I don't feel the pull, alright?
Don't come around — you're an unloved boy, that's true
Stop waiting for me outside my window, nothing you can do
I haven't shared my location in a long, long while
And I don't go to the places where we used to run wild
