You went to a hotel party and said you needed a break
I felt like I couldn't breathe and my hands started to shake
I would have reserved myself if I never trusted you
'Cause you're an empty promise and a bad tattoo
'Cause you're an empty promise and a bad tattoo
Well take it back to the beginning
Make a list of all I've done right
Thought I was worthy of you
But I never got it right
Held back all your big plans
Just stay for the night
But everything that I fed you
Wouldn't please your appetite
You'll be my everything
I'll be your "I don't know"
Got a mouth full of daisies
Trying to keep me whole
Painted yourself like a bluejay
But you couldn't fly
You'll my everything
And I'll be your lie
This isn't how it was meant to be
You were supposed to live in my arms
Our love was a burst and decay
You stripped out all its worth
I acknowledged your excellence
You kicked me in the dirt
If all you wanted was happiness
Where did I play my part?
You'll be my everything
I'll be your "I don't know"
Got a mouth full of daisies
Trying to keep me whole
Painted yourself like a bluejay
But you couldn't fly
You'll my everything
And I'll be your lie
I try doing things to forget you
But you keep crawling back
You'll be my everything
I'll be your "I don't know"
You could be my everything
I'll be your "I don't know"
Painted yourself like a bluejay
But you couldn't fly
You'll my everything
And I'll be your lie
