[Verse 1] You messed me up. I tried to fix you. You said you’d change, but you never meant to. I saw the signs, but I stayed anyway. Guess I liked how it hurt that day. [Pre-Chorus] You said, “it’s always gonna rain.” And I still waited in the rain. [Chorus 1] Yeah, I knew it was bad, but I couldn’t let go. You broke my heart, and I let it show. You were the problem I couldn’t quit. I kept pretending I could live with it. Yeah, I knew it was bad, but I couldn’t let go. I called it love, but it was control. [Verse 2] You talked in circles, and I believed it. You said “I’m sorry,” but you never meant it. I told myself it’s just a phase, but it never changed, not one damn day. [Pre-Chorus] You said, “it’s always gonna rain.” And I kept standing there again. [Chorus 2] Yeah, I knew it was wrong, but I stayed the same. You lied to me, and I took the blame. You said you’d love me if I behaved. But I was never something you could save. Yeah, I knew it was wrong, but I stayed the same. I kept loving you anyway. [Bridge] Every time you said you’d leave, I begged you not to go. You hurt me worse each time, and I still said, “I know.” You called it love, but it was control. [Final Chorus] Yeah, I knew it was bad, but I liked the pain. I told myself I’d be okay. You were the reason I lost my way, but I’m done repeating yesterday. Yeah, I knew it was bad, but I liked the pain. Now I’m free, and you can stay the same
