Mean

You used to hold the door for me
Now you can't wait to leave
You used to send me flowers if
You fucked up in my dreams
I used to make you laugh with all
The silly shit I did
Now you roll your eyes
And walk away and shake your head
When the spark has gone
And the candles are out
And the song is done
And there's no more sound
Whispers turn to yelling
And I'm thinking
How did we get so mean?
How do we just move on?
How do you feel in the morning
When it comes and everything's undone?
Is it 'cause we wanna be free?
Well, that's not me
Normally I'm so strong
I just can't wake up on the floor
Like a thousand times before
Knowing that forever won't be
I'm always sentimental when
I think of how it was
When love was sweet and new and we just
Couldn't get enough
The shower, it reminds me you'd
Undress me with your eyes
And now you never touch me
And you tell me that you're tired
You know it gets so sad
When it all goes bad
And all you think about
Is all the fun you've had
And all those sorry's ain't never gonna mean a thing
How did we get so mean?
How do we just move on?
How do you feel in the morning
When it comes and everything's undone?
Is it 'cause we wanna be free?
Well, that's not me
Normally I'm so strong
I just can't wake up on the floor
Like a thousand times before
Knowing that forever won't be
I know we said some things that we can never take back
It's like a trainwreck trying to hit the right track
We opened up the wine and we just let it breathe
But we should've drank it down while it was still sweet
It all goes bad eventually
Now, do we stay together 'cause
We're scared to be alone?
We got so used to this abuse
It kinda feels like home
But my baby, I
Just really wanna know, oh
How did we get so mean?
How do we just move on?
How do you feel in the morning
When it comes and everything's undone?
Is it 'cause we wanna be free?
Well, that's not me
Normally I'm so strong
I just can't wake up on the floor
Like a thousand times before
Knowing that forever won't be
How do we just move on?
How do you feel in the morning
When it comes and everything's undone?
Is it 'cause we wanna be free?
Well, that's not me
Normally I'm so strong
I just can't wake up on the floor
Like a thousand times before
Knowing that forever won't be
