Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My label said to never waste a crisis
And here I am, guitar in my hand, in the middle of one
And honestly, I didn't wanna write this
Don't know if I can, still holdin' back, still wanna run
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
But don't you dare act like I didn't love you
Don't go thinking 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 saying's only half-true
Messing 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
[Verse 4]
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'd be over
But you sensationalize, keep fanning the fire for the headlines
[Verse 5]
But don't you dare act like I didn't love you
Don't go thinking 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 saying's only half-true
Messing 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
[Verse 6]
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?
[Verse 7]
Don't you dare act like I didn't love you
Don't go thinking that I didn't hurt, too
Don't you ever wonder if I'm okay after all you've put me through?
Half the shit you're saying's only half-true
Messing with my life as a career move
I can't help but wonder why you won't make it end
But you would never dare
You would never dare to waste a crisis
