Look at that, guess who's back, are we doing this again? 'Cause every time we start we're minutes from the end A failure to connect any deeper than the physical This is unintentional, darlin' What you've seen is what you get And we've been through this, girl, you don't want it It's been a battle royale since the day we've met No matter what we do there's nothing left 'Cause you played me, I know and it's over, honey No matter what we try it's for the best And I thought you could be so much better than this You left me wasted, taste it Everything you've done has left me scarred I'll leave you dressed up, messed up Left to regret everything you are Whoa Everything you are Down to drink, time to think maybe this isn't a joke 'Cause every time you get close my life goes up in smoke 'Cause when you get invested integrity is tested And fickle decisions trickle down I never thought for a moment I could cause all this But all the pathways twisted, turned into the roads I've ran that I won't miss No matter what we do there's nothing left 'Cause you played me, I know and it's over, honey No matter what we try it's for the best And I thought you could be so much better than this You left me wasted, taste it Everything you've done has left me scarred I'll leave you dressed up, messed up Left to regret everything you are Whoa Everything you are No matter what we do there's nothing left No matter what we try it's for the best You left me wasted, taste it Everything you've done has left me scarred I'll leave you dressed up, messed up Left to regret everything you are No matter what we do there's nothing left 'Cause you played me, I know and it's over, honey No matter what we try it's for the best And I thought you could be so much better than this You left me wasted, taste it Everything you've done has left me scarred I'll leave you dressed up, messed up Left to regret everything you are Whoa Everything you are 'Cause you left me

Whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa Hello, hello, what are you doing tonight? Can we go out, go out, if I ask you, girl, would it be alright? But of course not, it's never that easy, it's never that okay And so I shut my mouth and get on with my day I'm buying things I'll never give you, I'm writing songs you'll never hear Another ghost that walks the hallway and if you'd blink I'd disappear 'Cause this is killing me but you'll never know, you'll never second guess 'Bout anything that I felt for you or if I was different from the rest Whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa Why won't the words come out when I've got so much to say? Wish I could compliment you without scaring you away Every gamble is a monach butterfly inside my chest But the odds against me insecticide that runs right down my neck I'm buying things I'll never give you, I'm writing songs you'll never hear Another ghost that walks the hallway and if you'd blink I'd disappear 'Cause this is killing me but you'll never know, you'll never second guess 'Bout anything that I felt for you or if I was different from the rest Whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa Chances are I've messed this all up by myself Sabotaged it from the inside out I'll never talk again, oh, girl, you've left me speechless Ooh, whoa I'm buying things I'll never give you, I'm writing songs you'll never hear I'm just a ghost that walks the hallway and if you'd blink I'd disappear 'Cause this is killing me but you'll never know, you'll never second guess 'Bout anything that I felt for you or if I was different from the rest I'm writing songs you'll never hear Oh, girl, I disappeared You'll never know

Once upon a time a few mistakes ago I was in your sights, you got me alone You found me, you found me, you found me I guess you didn't care and I guess I liked that And when I fell hard you took a step back Without me, without me, without me And she's long gone when she's next to me And I realize the blame is on me 'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in It's a shame on me now Flew me to places I'd never been 'Til you put me down, oh I knew you were trouble when you walked in It's a shame on me now Flew me to places I'd never been Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground Oh, whoa, trouble, trouble, trouble Oh, whoa, trouble, trouble, trouble No apologies, she'll never see you cry Pretend she doesn't know that she's the reason why You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning Now I heard you moved on from whispers on the street A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be And now I see, now I see, now I see She was long gone when she met me And I realize the joke is on me Hey! I knew you were trouble when you walked in It's a shame on me now Flew me to places I'd never been 'Til you put me down, oh I knew you were trouble when you walked in It's a shame on me now Flew me to places I'd never been Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground Oh, whoa, trouble, trouble, trouble Oh, whoa, trouble, trouble, trouble And the saddest fear comes creeping in That you never loved me or him, or anyone, or anything Yeah! I knew you were trouble when you walked in It's a shame on me now Flew me to places I'd never been 'Til you put me down, oh I knew you were trouble when you walked in It's a shame on me now Flew me to places I'd never been Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground Oh, whoa, trouble, trouble, trouble Oh, whoa, trouble, trouble, trouble I knew you were trouble when you walked in It's a shame on me now Flew me to places I'd never been 'Til you put me down, oh I knew you were trouble when you walked in It's a shame on me now Flew me to places I'd never been Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground Oh, whoa, trouble, trouble, trouble Oh, whoa, trouble, trouble, trouble
