Julia Jewel - half of me Lyrics

Always had to lie right through my teeth
The truth is I hate how you treated me
Couldn't be myself authentically
Cause you only wanted
Half of me
Expectations on the floor
I set them low hoping for more
But you said they were high
Yeah that was such a lie
Manipulated me to be the
Perfect girl you always dreamed
And looking back's embarrassing
So many signs I ignored every time
Over and over again
I fell for that devilish grin
But you practically spelled it out
That you didn't love everything I was about
Always had to lie right through my teeth
The truth is I hate how you treated me
Couldn't be myself authentically
Cause you only wanted
Half of me
Said you only liked my happy side
But you're the one who always made me cry
Can't believe it took so long to leave
Cause you only wanted
Half of me
Wanted the beauty
And not the brains
Only half of me
In public you were stuck to me
In private wanted room to breath
My body said to run
My heart kept holding on
To how you were when we first met
What a naive little optimist
To think you loved me like I did
So many signs I ignored every time
Over and over again
I fell for that devilish grin
But you practically spelled it out
That you didn't love everything I was about
Always had to lie right through my teeth
The truth is I hate how you treated me
Couldn't be myself authentically
Cause you only wanted
Half of me
Said you only liked my happy side
But you're the one who always made me cry
Can't believe it took so long to leave
Cause you only wanted
Half of me
