Lyrics

[Verse 1]

4 a.m. and it's dark in the house

And I cry and I cry, and I screamed about a hundred times

I want you out of my mind

'Cause it's been so long since I knew what it was

To be held in the arms of a human that was warm and kind

You were so unkind

[PreChorus]

I wish I was honest for a moment

Bruises only heal when you apply some love and tenderness

You could cut me deeper than the ocean

But I refuse to drown, I'm coming up, I wanna breathe again

[Chorus]

I gave you my all, but you took the worst of me

Lightning and scars is all I got left of me

I came here for love, but now I don't want it anymore

I gave you my all, but you took the worst of me

You took the worst of me

You took the worst of me

[Verse 2]

We ended up like Romeo and Juliet

A curse on both our houses, oh

I know you feel alone

But I won't be the one to desert myself

I deserve to be loved, no fear that it would disappear

You were never here

[PreChorus]

I wish I was honest for a moment, yeah

Bruises only heal when you apply some love and tenderness

You could cut me deeper than the ocean

But I refuse to drown, I'm coming up, I wanna breathe again

[Chorus]

I gave you my all, you took the worst of me

Lightning and scars is all I got left of me

I came here for love but now I don't want it anymore

Gave you my all, but you took the worst of me

You took the worst of me

You took the worst of me

[Outro]

You took the worst of me

You took the worst of me

You took the worst of me

You took the worst of me

You took the worst of me
