Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Patience could've done us well
'Cause I could tell
That all we lack was presence
Then I would've fell
You could've helped
[Verse 2]
But here's to bein' honest, uh
Neither of us knew what we wanted, uh
But all we knew is that we cared, uh
Still, all we painted was a moment
[Verse 3]
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
[Verse 4]
You're so bad at holdin' water
Slips right through your fingers
We both end up drownin'
It would hit the ground  and then the path would wash away
Wash away
[Verse 5]
Yeah
And I really wanna work this out 'cause I'm tired of fightin'
And I really hope you still want me the way I want you
And it really feels like this shit been on autopilot
And it's habitual to be the bitch I am
But not the chick you want
Residual damage left in place of what was beautiful
Excuses only work when what we've done is still excusable
You let the truth unfold
[Verse 6]
But still, cheers to bein' honest, uh
Neither of us knew what we wanted, uh
But all we knew is that we cared, uh
Still, all we painted was a moment
[Verse 7]
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
[Verse 8]
You're so bad at holdin' water
Slips right through your fingers
We both end up drownin'
It would hit the ground and then the path would wash away
Wash away
[Verse 9]
Uh, you are a vision of perfection
In my eyes, I was caught up in a blessin'
Didn't realize how it wasn't fair
To compare all the things I knew that I've been through
That's if you didn't have anything  that you went through
I treated you like medicine
But I guess I wasn't listenin'
When you tried to explain that
You had hurt and pain too
But as long as I felt better then
It was all good, but we wasn't good
So convinced that things were understood
Meanwhile, I had baggage to unpack
And I just had to admit that
Still dealin' with the battles, feelin' so inadequate
And I know that I shoulda stayed
But at the time, it felt like I had to quit
And I know that you prolly think I'm just out here thinkin' 'bout myself
But you still playin' in my head to this day, talkin' 'bout
[Verse 10]
You could've helped
But still, cheers to bein' honest, uh
Neither of us knew what we wanted, uh
But all we knew is that we cared, uh
Still, all we painted was a moment
[Verse 11]
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
[Verse 12]
You're so bad at holdin' water
Slips right through your fingers
We both end up drownin'
It would hit the ground and then the path would wash away
Wash away
