II

You were my ride or die

Had our weddin' in that stagecoach lot

Swapped cheap rings

And vowed a vow

That we both forgot

I promised you the world

And meant every damn word

But sometimes, darlin

Life gets shit blurred

We swore to forever

Usin' up borrowed time

Held tight to this love

We knew was half-blind


I gave you my heart

You gave me new scars

We tried to stay close

But you drifted too far

Sometimes I think

Lovin' you was the worst

Ain't sayin' it wasn't good

Just sayin' it fuckin' hurt


Right after our vows

You started slippin' away

Late nights

Strange names

But nothin' to say

I started spendin' my time

Glued to that bar seat

Tryin' drownin' out what I felt

Every time you'd leave

We both ran from that fire

That we swore we'd tend

Callin' it freedom

While our house caved in


I gave you my heart

You gave me new scars

We tried to stay close

But you drifted too far

Sometimes I think

Lovin' you was the worst

Ain't sayin' it wasn't good

Just sayin' it fuckin' hurt


We didn't fall apart

We rotted with time

Little cuts, little silences

We crossed every line


I gave you my heart

You gave me new scars

We tried to stay close

But you drifted too far

Sometimes I think

Lovin' you was the worst

Ain't sayin' it wasn't good

Just sayin' it fuckin' hurt


I gave you my all
