Common Sense

Were you gonna fight fair
Or only wear me down and say farewell?
You hit me with a blank stare
But never hold the mirror to yourself

You wanna move on but you just can't quit it
You wanna be strong but your heart's not in it
So, baby, just walk away
'Cause you'll find a way to take what I said and spin it all

I saw your colors but watched them fade
A silver platter, you hate the taste
If only you could hear yourself
You'd start to sound like someone else
We never had a sense in common
'Cause I was never what you wanted

Everybody knew the outcome
But maybe they forgot to let me know
Now I'ma keep my mouth shut
'Cause you'll just go and fuck it up all on your own

I thought that it might feel a bit concerning
A hit to the gut, but the world's still turning

To think I would bow down
But maybe I found out
That, baby, the taste of your own medicine
Is the worst to go down

I saw your colors but watched them fade
A silver platter, you hate the taste
If only you could hear yourself
You'd start to sound like someone else
We never had a sense in common
'Cause I was never what you wanted

Searching for a reason, do I even need this?
Seen it more than once before
Gonna be a long night, cry and say it's alright
More for you to self absorb

Searching for a reason, do I even need this?
Seen it more than once before
We never had a sense in common
'Cause I was never what you wanted

I saw your colors but watched them fade (watched them fade)
A silver platter, you hate the taste (hate the taste)
If only you (if only you) could hear yourself (could hear yourself)
You'd start to sound like someone else
We never had a sense in common
'Cause I was never what you wanted

I was never what you wanted
