I was blinded by the lies
And the manufactured smile
The devil went down to Georgia
Then he crossed the ‘Bama line
So casually convincing
The dream you sold was glistening
So cruel but always kidding
Are you kidding?
And I heard what they were thinking
She ignored the warning signs
But if you flew across the world for them
They too would change their mind
I guess I should’ve known
I’d be out here all alone
In the mess you made, it was all just fake
How did you get so cold?
And no, I wouldn’t take you back
But what makes it all a little sad
Is knowing I wasn’t the first
And I know I won’t be the last
Heart you break in half
To throw right in the trash
Who hurt you so bad, bad, bad?
Hometown happy hours
The hand-delivered flowers
You looked me in the eyes and told me what was yours was ours
And when I tried to run
Pump the brakes, just call it fun
You’d cosplay someone with feelings
Oh, l’ve never felt more dumb
‘Cause all of that for nothing
I just don’t understand
To know you hurt a girl like me
Do you feel more like a man?
I guess I should’ve known
I’d be out here all alone
In the mess you made, it was all just fake
How did you get so cold?
And no, I wouldn’t take you back
But what makes it all a little sad
Is knowing I wasn’t the first
And I know I won’t be the last
Heart you break in half
To throw right in the trash
Who hurt you so bad, bad, bad?
You said you needed less flashy, more fun
Oh, of course she’s twenty one
On your arm through the bar
God, I hate how gross you are
And how did I not see it?
Your ego, it needs feeding
Endlessly, relentlessly
At the cost of me
And I’ll move on, and I’ll find better
But you’ll stay the same forever
And ever, happy never
I guess now I know
I’d rather be alone
Than in the mess you made, it was all so fake
How does it not get old?
And no, I wouldn’t take you back
But what makes it all a little sad
Is knowing I wasn’t the first
And I know I won’t be the last
Heart you break in half
To throw right in the trash
Who hurt you so bad, bad, bad?
