Crisis

My label said to never waste a crisis

And here I am, guitar in my hand, in the middle of one

And honestly, I didn't wanna write this

Don't know if I can, still holdin' back, still wanna run

And if you get to tell your truth, then so do I

And it's cool if you want me to play the bad guy

But don't you dare act like I didn't love you

Don't go thinking that I didn't hurt, too

Don't you ever wonder if I'm okay after all you put me through?

Half the shit you're saying's only half-true

Messing with my life as a career move

I can't help but wonder why you won't make it end

Guess you would never dare

You would never dare to waste a crisis

My mama called 'cause she heard I got death threats

Oh, what the hell am I supposed to do with that?

Oh, I wish that I could open my eyes and the nightmare'd be over

But you sensationalize, keep fanning the fire for the headlines

But don't you dare act like I didn't love you

Don't go thinking that I didn't hurt, too

Don't you ever wonder if I'm okay after all you put me through?

Half the shit you're saying's only half-true

Messing with my life as a career move

I can't help but wonder why you won't make it end

Guess you would never dare

You would never dare to waste a crisis

Weren't you the one who left in the first place?

Weren't you the one who called things off?

Was it an act to love me or an act to hate me?

Don't you dare act like I didn't love you

Don't go thinking that I didn't hurt, too

Don't you ever wonder if I'm okay after all you've put me through?

Half the shit you're saying's only half-true

Messing with my life as a career move

I can't help but wonder why you won't make it end

But you would never dare

You would never dare to waste a crisis
