[Verse 1] You said you’d be five minutes Came back in a different year Same boots, same cracked leather But a stranger in the mirror here Coffee dying on the counter Your keys still in the door Lipstick on your collar That shade I don’t wear anymore [Pre-Chorus] You tell me I’m imagining What I can see with my own eyes Every promise has a fracture Every “sorry” wears a disguise [Chorus] This is a bad romance Burned down in a rented kitchen Ashes on your hoodie Smoke from every wrong decision You say, “Baby, we can fix this” But you twist the same old knife This is a bad romance And I’m learning how to leave alive [Verse 2] You laugh like nothing happened Turn the television loud I count the little secrets Hidden underneath the sound Your phone lies face-down on the table Buzzing like a guilty heart I trace the crack across the drywall Where we swore we’d never fall apart [Pre-Chorus] I used to blame the silence I used to blame myself But love was never supposed To feel like somebody else [Chorus] This is a bad romance Burned down in a rented kitchen Ashes on your hoodie Smoke from every wrong decision You say, “Baby, we can fix this” But you twist the same old knife This is a bad romance And I’m learning how to leave alive [Bridge — Emotional Turning Point] I packed my bags inside my head A thousand times before Tonight I finally touch the handle Of the only door You reach for me like always And I almost lose my nerve Then I see the woman in the mirror And remember what she deserves No more waiting for your footsteps No more sleeping with the light If loving you means losing me Then losing you is right [Final Chorus — Explosive] This was a bad romance Burned down in a rented kitchen Ashes on your hoodie Smoke from every wrong decision You said, “Baby, we can fix this” But you never changed your life This was a bad romance And tonight I walk out alive No, I won’t come back No, I won’t come back You can keep the memories I’m taking back my life This was a bad romance And tonight I walk out alive [Outro] The coffee’s cold The keys are gone The room is empty And I’m moving on
