How did we come to this?
2 months ago it was bliss
We were planning a life
Oh, so easy and nice
2 months ago your love felt so right
♪
2 months ago, I still remember when
Said you craved something more with my friend
And I died and you let me
But you didn't let me go
And I'm going insane
As you twist thoughts in my brain
Wrap me into this game
I never wanted to play
But you hold me and sway
Like we fell yesterday
Gentle smile make me think it's okay
So I'll keep your fire warm
Just to hold you for a little while longer
Pretend just for show
So-called "love" overflows
How you turn me to ashes
But in circles you go
To burn bright with another
Then come back to me
Say we just need to try harder
Then convince me I'm the one who should leave
Baby, how could this be?
I'll keep lighting this fire
So you can take it away from me
♪
You were sunshine
Now you're pouring rain
You felt so close
Now you're oh so far away
Now it's cold in December
You bloom with her in May
God, you're beautiful to me
But she's holding your face
You were kindness
'Til you turned so cruel
You were patience
'Til you risked that we lose
No more sunsets on rooftops
Only hear your own views
Wasting words all about how you'll stay
Yet you leave me to
Grieve everyday
Let you have it your way
Watch you bullshit your say
Never face your mistakes
As you call me unfair
All 'cause I needed you there
Tell me, Darling
How does it compare?
When I keep your fire warm
Just to hold you for a little while longer
Call this pain "compromise"
Hold more space for your pride
I held you for 3 years
You betrayed me for life
To burn bright with another
Yet don't set me free
Say "I swear I'll do better"
Empty promises you just couldn't keep
How could you not see?
That I keep lighting this fire
So you can take it away from me
You can leave if you want to
(But I don't want to)
You can leave if I hurt you
(I'll hurt with you if I have to)
We can try again if you want to
(I'll try harder with you)
Please don't leave
I'll be better for you
I'll be better for you
Were you ready for this?
2 months ago I was perfect
Suddenly I'm too much for you
How'd it turn out so wrong
When I trusted you to be ready for this?
But you weren't ready for this
Stretched yourself out too thin
And made myself believe it was me
Who wasn't ready
Now it's not simple
Not free
Now you dance to our song
With a new pair of feet
I can't stay here forever
But oh, how I tried
(You make my heart ache)
Oh, because you were mine
How did you sleep at night, baby?
While you watched me burn
And all the hearts that you've hurt
Not just me, not just her
And as we turned cold
How were you still unsure
If goodbye was something
You truly deserved?
So go on, dare to do it again
Go and fuck your lover's friend
Then try the least to make amends
See just how they like it then
See just how well it ends then
Cause' you're simply the best, I bet
Bet you tell yourself that
Just to feel my ghost again
But she better tell you like it is
Not keep you warm like I did
Not think she deserved it like I did
And don't twist her words
When she's crying and says
How did we come to this?
