# AUDACITY [INTRO] I believed You wouldn't leave Funny how three little words Can make a fool of me I believed. [VERSE 1] Stuck with tears and fears As your memory pierces my heart It's already broken So why tear it apart? You lost the flame Then handed me the blame What a shame You're the one who walked away I watched you change While you swore you were the same And somehow I'm the one who feels ashamed [PRE-CHORUS] I believed You wouldn't leave Now every promise Makes it hard to breathe All that trust I thought would last You traded our forever For a moment you couldn't pass [CHORUS] Cheers, my love I still can't move on I'm drinking to the person I thought you were all along I'm still under your spell While you're doing perfectly well You made loving you feel like heaven Then left me descending into hell All the trust I thought would last Got destroyed by lust Just like that And the audacity The goddamn tenacity To break my heart— Then turn around And blame it all on me [POST-CHORUS] Oh, the audacity Was it me? Was it me? Was it really me? That's funny. The audacity. [VERSE 2] You said, “It didn't mean a thing” Like that was supposed to hurt me less As if throwing us away for nothing Was somehow better, I guess You said you “made a mistake” Funny choice of words A mistake is missing your exit You knew exactly where you were going. And I stayed up every night Wondering what I did wrong While you slept just fine Knowing where you belonged [PRE-CHORUS 2] I believed You wouldn't leave I defended you When I should've believed me All that trust Built so fast Funny how forever Can become the past [CHORUS 2] Cheers, my love Look what you've done I kept defending us While you were already gone I'm still under your spell But now I know you too well You made loving you feel like heaven Then watched me descend into hell All the trust I thought would last Got destroyed by lust Just like that And the audacity The absolute tenacity To break my heart— Then ask me why I don't trust you anymore [BREAK] “You've changed.” Of course I changed. “You don't trust me anymore.” I wonder why. “Can't we just start again?” With what? There's nothing left To believe. [BRIDGE] I don't miss what you did to me I miss who I thought you were I miss the nights before your silence Started sounding like another girl I miss believing “I love you” Didn't come with an asterisk Maybe that's the cruelest part— You didn't only break my heart. You changed what love means to me. [FINAL CHORUS] Cheers, my love I'm learning to move on Not from who you really are But who I thought you were all along I'm crawling from your spell One step away from hell Maybe loving you destroyed me But leaving might just serve me well All that trust I thought would last You destroyed for lust And that's that But the audacity The beautiful irony You broke my heart And blamed it all on me— Yet somehow... I'm the one Who finally gets to leave. [OUTRO] I believed You wouldn't leave Turns out... I should've been The first to leave.
