about

This was my first angsty- teenager, boy-inspired song haha
It's about a guy saying a bunch of sweet things to get you to go out with him and then he ends up liking another girl and being very angry that he said all those things that you want to hold onto even though they were just empty words. It's about the internal conflict of "I'm so mad that he said all those lies!" and "But I mean he kinda meant it, right?"

lyrics

Can you tell me what I missed? I closed my eyes, when we had our first kiss.
So I couldn't see the lies. You held me tight, you held me back.
So I couldn't rach you once you were gone. You never wanted me at all

"You are Beautiful" you couldn't have told me more. Tell me more, tell me more.
"You are wonderufl" you couldn't have sold it more, what were you selling it for?
"You are worth it all" Said I was something to fight for, but you only let me go.

Your tongue bled words that made me sigh, but your silence is the thing that made me cry.
I was yours but you weren't mine.
How could I know that's what you wanted the whole time?

"You are Beautiful" you couldn't have told me more. Tell me more, tell me more.
"You are wonderufl" you couldn't have sold it more, what were you selling it for?
"You are worth it all" Said I was something to fight for, but you only let me go.

Bleed the words that held me tight again.
Or at least help me to understand.
Don't feed me words that aren't mind to have.
But please don't ever take them back.

"You are Beautiful" you couldn't have told me more. Tell me more, tell me more.
"You are wonderufl" you couldn't have sold it more, what were you selling it for?
"You are worth it all" I wasted my breath you wasted yours, all for empty words.

"You are Beautiful" you couldn't have told me more. Tell me more, tell me more.
"You are wonderufl" you couldn't have sold it more, what were you selling it for?
Was it worth it all? You never let me know. You only let me go
