Quiet

You're so convincing
Being with you meant cutting ties
But it was worth it for the butterflies
At the time
I'm so possessive
That's really where the problem lies
At least you told me 'bout a million times
You lied
Yeah I thought it was a rough start
Baby we're fallin' apart
Yeah I thought I had a stone heart
Then you just ripped it apart

I don't know why I tried so hard for you
Told me I had to be calm and collected and cool
Even if I was cryin'
You were so nice when I followed the rules
Said you'd walk outta my life if I told them the truth
Yeah you kept me quiet

You got toxic
Yeah I know that those are strong words
You always said I use the wrong words
What does that mean?
Maybe I look better when I'm cryin'
You know your rep would die if
They knew what you said in private
So keep lyin'
Guess I thought it was a rough patch
God, I hate the way you attach
I thought you'd help me get high
But if I'm alone I could die
I'll die

I don't know why I tried so hard to prove
Everything I'd ever done was a mistake to you
Even if I was cryin'
You were so nice when I stayed close to you
Said that you'd walk outta my life if I went out alone
Yeah you kept me tied up

Maye I look better when I'm cryin'
You know your rep would die if
They knew what you said in private
So keep lyin'

I don't know why I tried so hard to lose
Everything that I was made of, a taste of the truth
Now we're both here cryin'
You were so nice when I kissed up to you
Eat out the palm of your hand and become one in you
And we just got tired
I don't know why I tried so hard for you
Told me I had to be calm and collected and cool
Even if I was cryin'
You were so nice when I followed the rules
Said you'd walk outta my life if I told them the truth
Yeah you kept me quiet
