Miss Me More

Silence, laughter
You were like a rollercoaster
That speeds up, slows down
Till we were lost in a loop of
Endless tries and one-sided love
Doomed from the start, that was us
Bitter, no show
The glimmers of hope I lived for
Soft touch, harsh lies
Still, I held you like a lifeline
You never called us something good
Always unsure where we stood

I could have saved my breath
I could have saved my heart
I should have realized you loved yourself more than you ever loved us

Was a hopeless romantic
Till you came around
I built up your city
And you burned down my house
Now I search through the ashes
Who was I before?
God, I miss you
But I miss me more

Messes, problems
You know I was there in a heartbeat
And tried to solve 'em
I came up with all the game plans
I schemed against your enemies
I strategized till they declared defeat
Your shimmering shield that was me

I wish I would have saved my heart
I should have realized you loved yourself more than you ever loved us

Was a hopeless romantic
Till you came around
I built up your city
And you burned down my house
I still rushed in to help you
With every fire
'Cause I'm the type who'll always be in your corner
A hopeless romantic
While you spun your lies
I paved your streets gold and hung sparkling lights
Now I search through the ashes
Who was I before?
Sure, I miss you
But I miss me more

Scratches and bruises and injuries (Oh-oh)
I reached for your hand but you pulled away (Oh-oh)
I gave you so much, it was never enough
It was never (Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh)
Scratches and burn wounds and injuries (Oh-oh)
I exhaled your toxins and misery (Oh-oh)
Left everything behind
Left us there to die
Escaped the fire, then ran so far
Till I made it, I made it out

Was a hopeless romantic
Till you came around
I built up your city
And you burned down my house
So it's time to build a new one
A city that shines
A city that gives back
A city that's mine
A hopeless romantic
Drew hearts 'round my wounds
"Goodbye" isn't giving up, it just means you let go
I'm unpacking the hurt and moving along
Slowly finding my way back
Yeah, I'm finding my way back
To who I was before
