[Verse 1]
You say it’s not me, it’s you
That line got miles on it
Every door slam deja vu
Same script, my heart still on it
Scrollin’ through our old text
Tryna find where I went wrong
Was I too soft, too intense
Or did you plan to dip all along
Told me I was “different”
Then you dipped just like the rest
Left my hoodie on your chair
Left this weight inside my chest
I replay every second
Like a slow car crash in reverse
You walked out calm and quiet
I’m stuck asking why it always hurts
[Chorus]
Why am I always the one who gets left
Always the one that’s holding what’s left
Why am I always the one who gets hurt
Bleeding alone, face down in the dirt
Tell me, what’s wrong with the way that I love
Why do I never feel close to enough
Why am I always the one who gets burned
Heart as the lesson that never gets learned
[Verse 2]
You called me “home” on a Tuesday
By Friday you were packed
Guess I’m just a soft place
Till you get your feelings back
I give and give till I’m hollow
You take and fade to gray
I’m begging my pride to follow
But it loves you, it wants to stay
Friends say, “you’ll find better”
I’m tired of that line too
If I’m so easy to treasure
Why can’t I be enough for you
I’d rather hear “I don’t want you”
Than “you’re perfect, it’s bad time”
At least then I could hate you
Instead of thinking you were right
[Chorus]
Why am I always the one who gets left
Always the one that’s holding what’s left
Why am I always the one who gets hurt
Bleeding alone, face down in the dirt
Tell me, what’s wrong with the way that I love
Why do I never feel close to enough
Why am I always the one who gets burned
Heart as the lesson that never gets learned
[Bridge]
Maybe I care too loud
Maybe I stay too long
Maybe I bend till I’m breaking
Just to prove I can be strong
But I’m tired of being the crash site
Tired of begging for worth
If loving me is a landslide
Why am I always under the dirt (why?)
[Chorus]
Why am I always the one who gets left
Always the one that’s holding what’s left
Why am I always the one who gets hurt
Bleeding alone, face down in the dirt
Tell me, what’s wrong with the way that I love
Why do I never feel close to enough
Why am I always the one who gets burned
Heart as the lesson that never gets learned (never)
