[Verse 1] I was looking for a lighter Found a diamond in a drawer A little circle staring back Like a future at my door We agreed this wasn’t serious We agreed we’d keep it light So why’s my heart beating louder At the thought you might be right? I can’t smile through royal dinners Can’t remember which fork’s which Hera already thinks I’m garbage Why pretend I’m something rich? [Pre-Chorus] I know exactly how this story goes I’ve seen the ending all along You wake up and realize I’m not enough And I’ll be where I belong [Chorus] So don’t be nice to me Don’t look at me like that Don’t make me think I’m worth The things I know I lack Don’t hold me when I’m breaking Don’t tell me I can stay It’s easier to be the villain Than watch you walk away [Verse 2] Then her face was in the tabloids Then she showed up at your door Then somehow she was your intern Like I’d never seen before Then the cameras showed you running Like the world was ending fast Straight to save that stupid goddess Like nothing else could make you move that fast And I sent her somewhere dangerous Gods, I know that part was wrong But she never told you I did it She just carried on I should hate her I do hate her At least that’s what I tell myself So why does every piece of this Make me hate myself instead? [Pre-Chorus] I keep pretending none of this hurts Like I haven’t lost control But jealousy’s an ugly thing And it’s eating through my soul [Chorus] So don’t be nice to me Don’t look at me like that Don’t make me think I’m worth The things I know I lack Don’t hold me when I’m shaking Don’t tell me I can stay It’s easier to be the villain Than watch you walk away [Bridge] I know I ruined everything I know I missed the signs I know I pushed and pushed and pushed Till I crossed every line But I thought we were the same Two broken hearts, one wrecked design I thought we were supposed to be The ones nobody could fix this time Please don’t leave me standing here Please don’t leave me behind And now you get to be all normal While I come undone inside [Breakdown] Stop being nice to me Stop looking at me kindly Stop making this harder Stop making me want to stay You think I’m better than I am You always have And that’s the problem [Final Chorus] Don’t be nice to me Because I might believe it’s true That maybe I’m not hopeless The way I’ve always told myself I am Don’t be nice to me Because if I let myself believe you Losing you will break me too [Outro] Why aren’t you saying anything? Say something… Please. … Minth
