STUDIO

(Pre-Chorus)
Your screen lights up with names of men who want you in the dark
You smile and type right back while you're tearing out my heart
But then you turn around and scream, staring in my face
Swearing I'm the one who's cheating, calling me a disgrace.

(Chorus)
Oh, Jessi, I gave you every piece I had to give
I gave you all of me just so you'd have a place to live
You walk right past my boundaries, you tear down every wall
You don't respect my heart, you don't respect meat all
 you paint me as the villain in your script
to all your friends, make sure I'm the only one who's guilty in this
Oh, Jessi, you treat me like shit and you know it’s true
But God help me, I am still in love with you.

(Verse 2)
You swear with such conviction that I’m the one untrue
While you’re hiding all the secrets of the things you actually do
Projecting all your guilt, putting the blame on my name
I’m just a loyal prisoner in your twisted little game
I cross the town just to get screamed at in your car
You tell me I'm pathetic, that I'll never make it far
I’ve neglected my whole world, let my own life disappear
Just to be the punching bag you keep around here.

(Bridge)
The delusions in your head twist the truth into a lie
And suddenly you’re violent when you see me start to try
to turn around and leave, when I finally say goodbye
Your fragile little ego can't accept I’m walking out
So you throw your fits and fists, try to break me down with doubt
I dodge your flying rage and the poison words you throw
I brace for the impact, but I just can't let you go
You accuse me of the cheating that only you have ever done
While you’re out making memories beneath the midnight sun
I’m the faithful one in chains, you’re the one who breaks the vow
And you flip the script until I’m the villain somehow.

(Guitar Solo / Melancholic Strings)

[Chorus]
Oh, Jessi, I gave you every piece I had to give
I gave you all of me just so you'd have a place to live
You walk right past my boundaries, you tear down every wall
You don't respect my heart, you don't respect meat all
 you paint me as the villain in your script
to all your friends, make sure I'm the only one who's guilty in this
Oh, Jessi, you treat me like shit and you know it’s true
But God help me, I am still in love with you.

(Outro)
Jessi, please...
Look at the wreckage, look at what I gave
I turned my whole existence into a lonely grave
It was all for you.
And I’m still here...
Yeah, I’m still here...
Numb inside and praying that my heart would finally quit,
'cause dying would be easier than living through this shit.

(Verse 1) My phone lights up, it’s you again outside just waiting in the car to go in I haven’t seen my family in half a year I pushed them all away just to keep you near, you don't seem to care, you make it all about yourself. God forbid you give a shit about anybody else. You use my boundaries to know what you need to hide, You're just a child who never learned to care inside. (Pre-Chorus) Your screen lights up with names of men who want you in the dark You smile and type right back while you're tearing out my heart But then you turn around and scream, staring in my face Swearing I'm the one who's cheating, calling me a disgrace.
