Crisis
Joshua Bassett
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 thinkin' 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
Messin' 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 callеd 'cause she heard I got dеath 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 fannin' the fire for the headlines
But don't you dare act like I didn't love you
Don't go thinkin' 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
Messin' 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 thinkin' 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
Messin' 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
