Romance

[Verse 1] And in the night, it was a drunken stutter Started as a next to nothing conversation And then he's tearing me out Taking me apart at my friend's house I was uncomfortable, I was hurt Still with blue innocence in his eyes I felt my reasoning was harsh [Verse 2] With every stab wound and exhale, I promised myself That I would never lose my useful fears of grown up men I'm scarred with cruel intentions I thought of another the whole time Who would have never stared me like that See, he saw me as a human This one thinks I'm a slaughterhouse [Pre-Chorus] He pretends that he's understanding And you know in the grand scheme of everything He's probably called a nice man Or an ordinary kind of man Or a stereotype with strong hands, I'm so sad At how little joy I realized within my time with my ex guy Before these statues arrived [Chorus] Romance is dead and done And it hits between the eyes on this side The grass is dead and barren And it hurts between my thighs on this side [Verse 3] I could begin to open up and risk desire For I move slower and quieter than most I grew up too quick and I still forgive too slow Oh, I wish there was another way [Chorus] Romance is dead and done And it hits between the eyes on this side The grass is dead and barren And it hurts between my thighs on this side [Bridge] See me here, meet me here I don't care if it's not repeated I want to know who you are For every second we outrun the moon, dread the sun come up I want to know who you are So I don't have to check my stuff's still here when you're gone I want to know who you are I want to know who you were [Chorus] Romance is dead and done And it hits between the eyes on this side The grass is dead and barren And it hurts between my thighs on this side [Outro] This side This side This side This side
