Lyrics:
4am and it’s dark in the house
And I cry and I cry and I screamed about a hundred times
I want you out of my mind
Cuz it’s been so long since I knew what it was
To be held in the arms of a human that was warm and kind
You were so unkind

I wish I was honest for a moment
Bruises only heal when you apply some love and tenderness
You could cut me deeper than the ocean
But I refuse to drown
I’m coming up, I wanna breathe again

I gave you my all, but you took the worst of me
Lightning and scars, is all I got left of me
I came here for love, but now I don’t want it anymore
I gave you my all, but you took the worst of me
You took the worst of me
You took the worst of me

We ended up like Romeo and Juliet
A curse on both our houses, oh
I know you feel alone
But I won’t be the one to desert myself
I deserve to be loved no fear that it would disappear
You were never here

I wish I was honest for a moment, yeah
Bruises only heal when you apply some love and tenderness
You could cut me deeper than the ocean
But I refuse to drown, I’m coming up, I wanna breathe again

I gave you my all, you took the worst of me
Lightning and scars is all I got left of me
I came here for love but now I don’t want it anymore
Gave you my all but you took the worst of me
You took the worst of me
You took the worst of me
You took the worst of me
You took the worst of me
You took the worst of me
You took the worst of me
You took the worst of me
