My label said to never waste a crisis
And here I am, guitar in my hand, in the middle of one, hmm
And, honestly, I didn't wanna write this Don't know if I can, still holdin' back, still wanna run
And if you get to tell your truth, then so do I And it's cool if you want me to play the bad guy
* But don't you dare act like I didn't love you Don't go thinkin' that I didn't hurt too
Don't you ever wonder if I'm okay after all you put me through?
Half the shit you're sayin' is only half true You're messin' with my life as a career move
I can't help but wonder, why you won't make it end?
Guess you would never dare, you would never dare To waste a crisis
My mama called 'cause she heard I got death threats
Oh, what the hell am I supposed to do with that?
Oh, I wish that I could open my eyes and the nightmare be over
But you sensationalize, keep fannin' the fire for the headlines
( * )
Weren't you the one who left in the first place? Weren't you the one who called things off?
Was it an act to love me or an act to hate me?
