re-opened a recently sewed wound to write this one and immediately closed it back after writing this one- metaphorically ofc. 

i don't want to focus/ have heartbreak songs be the majority of songs i write, but this is an exception ig. enjoy!!


INTRO // CHORUS:

When you said you'd be there

We're you lying?

I thought you cared

Or was I gaslighting?

Utterly unaware

Of who you really are

All you're capable of

Cause when push comes to shove

I find myself gaslighting


1ST VERSE:

Your promises have become myths

Our fairytale of bliss

Has become nothing but folklore

Did you ever even exist?

I wanted more

Was it in my head?

Could it had been pretend?

Writing you down on paper

Describing you in pen

Blue ink, for what I felt

When you left


PRE-CHORUS:

Oh, moments I caught myself gaslighting

You're a protagonist turned villain

They said run, but I didn't dare listen


CHORUS:

When you said you'd be there

We're you lying?

I thought you cared

Or was I gaslighting?

Utterly unaware

Of who you really are

All you're capable of

Cause when push comes to shove

I find myself gaslighting


2ND VERSE:

Light of my eyes, turned dark

You weren't no Joan Of Arc

Short replies, barely made time

I should've known . . .

I'm the clay you mold

I compromised

You took my life

And drained it out

Are you happy now?


PRE-CHORUS:

Oh, moments I caught myself gaslighting

Life was good

'Til you came back

And only brought the bad

Oh, after that

The times turned mad


CHORUS:

When you said you'd be there

We're you lying?

I thought you cared

Or was I gaslighting?

Utterly unaware

Of who you really are

All you're capable of

Cause when push comes to shove

I find myself gaslighting


BRIDGE:

Re- opening the wound

Cause what I felt for you

It was true, but blue (like you)

31st of August and June

Oh, how I think of you

Oh, I really do

You know, I believed in you

That there was good

Oh, what a fool

I never knew you would

Leave me so blue

Especially for a fifth time


Never have I drowned and died

In a fire, five lifetimes

But I've made it out alive

I'm no ghost like you

Who shows up to leave

Having me believe

That I was gaslighting


OUTRO:

They say you don't know what you have

Until they're gone

Well, I never knew who you were

Until you were gone
