Intro:
Just once in a while
I want things to go as planned
No last-minute “sorry”
No “I don’t think I can”
No last minute texts with a
“Sorry I forgot to mention”
I always see it coming
It’s just basic comprehension
(Pre-Chrous)
They don’t mean to hurt me, I know that’s the line
But they’re all just way too comfortable wasting my god damn time
I tell myself it’s fine and it’s not worth making a scene
I just wish you would have thought about what flaking really means
(Chorus)
I turn the other cheek
Like it’s nothing to me
Pretend like I’m not angry
Even though I want to be
I say “yeah no it’s fine”
As you let me down again
You’re not one to follow through
No no, you’ve never been
What’s a girl gotta do to make you people care?
I’m already dressed, how is this fair?
You bailed on me then ghosted me for weeks,
But I’m just me, and turn the other cheek.
(Bridge)
If I stopped forgivin
And selfishly started livin
Would you even notice?
Would it finally flip a switch?
Or would you move on thinking I’m a total psycho bitch?
I’m tired of making space, tired of making time
Tired of burning dollars when you can’t spend a dime
Yeah I…
(Final Chorus)
I turn and look the other way
But I just need to say
I think I’m losing feeling
gotta break and start the healing
You think that it’s fine
but I’m taking back what’s mine
You can do whatever makes sense my dear
But not at my expense I fear
Because when I turned the other cheek
I was alone in the mirror
