I didn’t know how cold it could get until I came to North Carolina

I can't go back to Virginia Beach
cause when I hear fireworks I cry,
it's where I met you in July.
And you ruined New York for me,
it gives me flashbacks of the night
we made love above the lights.
Did you think I wouldn't feel it
from a thousand miles away
when you fucked her behind my back.
I spent a few months out in a Norway
and I remember being happy to come home
when it was summertime again.

But it feels like winter nights out in Chicago,
being with you now that I found out
you're a liar.
Felt like frozen ocean waves being without you,
but I didn't know how cold that it could get
'til I came home
to North Carolina.

If I go up north it'll remind me
of your family I might never see again.
I find it hard to go back home
because I trusted you enough
to bring you there to meet my friends.
And I'm never going back to South Carolina
cause I'll think about the places
where you fucked her behind my back.
And I gave up on watching sunsets
cause it brings me back to
all the broken evenings
that you left.

And it feels like winter nights out in Chicago,
being with you now that I found out
you're a liar.
Felt like frozen ocean waves being without you,
but I didn't know how cold that it could get
'til I came home...

Baby tell me,
please tell me the truth.
Cause now it's freezing
in the place I thought I knew.
So baby tell me,
please tell me the truth.
How could you fuck somebody else,
if I meant that much to you.

And it feels like winter nights out in Chicago,
being with you now that I found out
you're a liar.
Felt like frozen ocean waves being without you,
but I didn't know how cold that it could get
'til I came home
to North Carolina.
