Patience could've done us well 'Cause I could tell that all we lack was presence Then I would've fell, you could've helped But here's to being honest, uh Neither of us knew what we wanted, uh But all we knew is that we cared, uh Still all we painted was a moment, uh And when I walked away I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me And when I walked away I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me You're so bad at holding water, slips right through your fingers We'd both end up drowning, it would hit the ground And then the path would wash away Wash away Look And I really wanna work this out 'cause I'm tired of fighting And I really hope you still want me the way I want you And it really feels like this shit been on autopilot And it's a bitch you want me The bitch I am, but not the chick you want Residual damage left in place of what was beautiful Excuses only work when what we've done is still excusable You let the truth unfold But still, cheers to being honest, uh Neither of us knew what we wanted, uh But all we knew is that we cared, uh Still all we painted was a moment, uh And when I walked away I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me And when I walked away I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me You're so bad at holding water, slips right through your fingers We'd both end up drowning, it would hit the ground And then the path would wash away Wash away You are a vision of perfection In my eyes, I was caught up in a blessin' Didn't realize how it wasn't fair (fair) to compare (-pare) All the things I knew that I've been through (been through) As if you didn't have anything that you went through I treated you like medicine (I treated you like medicine) But I guess I wasn't listening (no, when you) When you tried to explain that you had hurt and pain, too But as long as I felt better, then (I felt better) it was all good But we wasn't good (wasn't good, so) So convinced that things were understood (thing were understood, yeah) Meanwhile, I had baggage to unpack And I just had to admit that (I just had to admit that, yeah) Still dealing with the battles, feeling so inadequate (inadequate) And I know that I should've stayed But at the time, it felt like I had to quit (I had to quit, yeah) And I know that you probably thinking Just I ain't thinking 'bout myself But you still playing in my head to this day talking 'bout You could've helped (uh) But still, cheers to being honest, uh Neither of us knew what we wanted, no But all we knew is that we cared, uh Still all we painted was a moment (ah) And when I walked away I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me And when I walked away I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me You're so bad at holding water, slips right through your fingers We'd both end up drowning, it would hit the ground And then the path would wash away Wash away (wash away)
