both ways

Apology without change is manipulation
Oh and loving you always had me hesitating
She played you, then you played me
You said this time don't worry
You made me a fool
And I followed the rules
Never good enough for you

The way you talk to someone is a reflection
Of how much respect you have for them as a person
On and off
No consistancy
You strung me along and my feelings
Like I was nothing

I fell in love with your potential
Always made you my essential
Why did every day feel like a chase
Shouldn't loving someone go both ways

I've said it once
And I'll say it again cause I mean it
I won't be the girl that you use
To get over your feelings
And it's sad that you showed me attention
When somebody questioned
Made me feel like a trophy
In all of the worst ways
That ain't affection
No, that ain't affection

Cause I fell in love with your potential
Always made you my essential
Why did every day feel like a chase
Shouldn't loving someone go both ways

And maybe if it's right
And you became the perfect guy
Who knows what to do
Oh but you're just a child
And I know I deserve someone
Who can appreciate my worth
Cause I gave you my undivided
You showed me this was single-sided

Cause I fell in love with your potential
Always made you my essential
Why did every day feel like a chase
Shouldn't loving someone go both ways
Draining all my energy
For someone who never
Made me a priority
Why did every day feel like a chase
Shouldn't loving someone go both ways

I lowered the bar and baby it wasn't that hard
So good luck to the next girl's broken heart you cause

Built you boy in my dream
Can't believe you'd mislead
A girl who was ready to give you everything
